Abstract: The existence of immune or cured individuals in a population and whether there is sufficient followup in a sample of censored observations on their lifetimes to be confident of their presence are questions of major importance in medical survival analysis. So far only a few candidates have been put forward as possible test statistics for the existence of sufficient followup in a sample. Here we investigate one such statistic and give a detailed analysis, obtaining an exact finite sample as well as asymptotic distributions for it, and use these to calculate the power of the test as a function of the followup in the sample.
