log rank test

How is the Log Rank Test Conducted?

The log rank test involves the following steps:
1. Data Collection: Gather survival times and censoring information for each group.
2. Survival Curves: Compute the Kaplan-Meier survival curves for each group.
3. Expected Events: Calculate the expected number of events at each time point for each group, assuming no difference between the groups.
4. Test Statistic: Sum the observed minus expected events across all time points to generate the test statistic.
5. P-Value: Compare the test statistic to a chi-square distribution to obtain the p-value.
