A modified multiple comparisons with a control for exponential location parameters based on doubly censored sample under heteroscedasticity

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a modified one-stage multiple comparison procedures with a control for exponential location parameters based on the doubly censored sample under heteroscedasticity is proposed. A simulation study is done and the results show that the proposed procedures have shorter confidence length with coverage probabilities closer to the nominal ones compared with the one proposed in Wu (2017 Wu, S. F. 2017. Multiple comparisons of exponential location parameters with a control based on doubly censored sample under heteroscedasticity. Communications in Statistics: Simulation and Computation 46 (3):1858–1870. doi: 10.1080/03610918.2015.1017582.Taylor & Francis Online] , Google Scholar]). At last, an example of comparing the duration of remission for four drugs as the treatment of leukemia is given to demonstrate the proposed procedures.
