Abstract: Abstract A distribution-free test of survival difference based upon F.N. David’s range statistic is presented. The test is significantly more powerful, in comparison to traditional measures focusing on central tendency, when survival advantages appear toward the latter part of a randomized 2-arm study. A recursive formula is used to calculate the exact cumulative probabilities for the distribution.
