There are four regression techniques currently available for use with censored data which do not assume particular parametric families of survival distributions. They are due to (i) Cox (1972), (ii) Miller (1976), (iii) Buckley & James (1979), and (iv) Koul, Susarla & Van Ryzin (1981). These four methods are described, and their performances compared on the updated Stanford heart transplant data. Conclusions on the usefulness of the four procedures are drawn.
Miller et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
