| Details: | Surrogate end-points are used when the true end-points are costly or time-consuming. In a realistic set-up we observe a fixed proportion of true-and-surrogate responses, and the remaining proportion are only-surrogate responses. It is obvious that the inclusion of such only-surrogate end-points increase the efficiency of associated estimation. In this work we quantify the gain in efficiency as a linear function of the proportion of available true responses. We demonstrate the applications of main results in some practical contexts. |
