Abstract
We provide a nonparametric estimate of τ-restricted mean survival using follow-up information beyond τwhen appropriate to improve precision. The variance accounts for correlation between follow-up windows. Both asymptotic calculations and simulation studies recommend follow-up intervals spaced approximately τ/2 apart.Entities:
