摘要: A formula is derived for determining the number of observations necessary to test equality two survival distributions when concomitant information incorporated. This should be useful in designing clinical trials with a heterogeneous patient population. Schoenfeld (1981, Biometrika 68, 316-319) asymptotic power class statistics used distributions. That result extended case where available each individual and proportional-hazards model holds. The loss efficiency caused by ignoring variables also computed.
