Landmark AnalysisLandmark Method, Landmark Survival Analysis

A survival technique restricting analysis to patients event-free up to a predefined time point, then examining survival from that point forward.

Log-Logistic ModelLoglogistic Regression Model, Fisk Survival Model

A survival model based on the log-logistic distribution, representing a hazard function that rises to a peak and then declines.

Log-Normal ModelLognormal Survival Model, Lognormal AFT

A survival model based on the log-normal distribution, capable of representing a hazard that rises then falls, similar in shape to log-logistic.

Log-Rank TestMantel-Cox Test, Mantel-Haenszel Survival Test

The log-rank test is a nonparametric hypothesis test that compares the event-time distributions of two or more groups by accumulating observed-minus-expected events across distinct event times while accounting for right censoring.
