Murrayand Tsiatis (1996) described a weighted survival estimate thatincorporates prognostic time-dependent covariate informationto increase the efficiency of estimation. We propose a test statisticbased on the statistic of Pepe and Fleming (1989, 1991) thatincorporates these weighted survival...

In many longitudinal studies, it is of interest to characterize the relationship between a time-to-event (e.g. survival) and time-dependent and time-independent covariates. Time-dependent covariates are generally observed intermittently and with error.For a single time-dependent covariate, a...
