Comparing survival functions with interval-censored data in the presence of an intermediate clinical event

Table 2 Empirical 5%-level tests by varying θ_B,m_1A, and m_1B with θ_A=0.5 when censoring fraction is 0.3, and there are some missed visits with a probability of 0.1 for the first year and then of 0.2 thereafter
