| Abstract: | An asymptotically distribution-free test is proposed for testing the equality of two multivariate failure distributions against a particular one-sided alternative based on censored observations. This test may be interpreted as a multivariate one-sided Gehan test. The consistency of the test is established. An illustrative example is given. |
