Differences between 5th percentile values of censored datasets derived by censored data analysis and 5th percentile values of ideal datasets. a Censored maximum likelihood estimation (CMLE) with all censored data. b Censored maximum likelihood estimation (CMLE) with the lower 30% quantile. c Kaplan–Meier method. \({\text{Difference}}^{1)} = \frac{{5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{CD}}, {\text{CMLE}}\_{\text{all}}}} - 5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{ideal}}, {\text{MLE}}}} }}{{5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{CD}}, {\text{CMLE}}\_{\text{all}}}} }}\), \({\text{Difference}}^{2)} = \frac{{5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{CD}}, {\text{CMLE}}_{{30{\text{\% }}}} }} - 5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{ideal}}, {\text{MLE}}}} }}{{5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{CD}}, {\text{CMLE}}_{{30{\text{\% }}}} }} }}\), \({\text{Difference}}^{3)} = \frac{{5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{CD}},{\text{KM}}}} - 5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{ideal}},{\text{Order}}}} }}{{5{\text{\% }}_{{{\text{CD}}, {\text{KM}}}} }}\)
