Sumario:In this paper, an algorithm for the automatic selection of an adequate test for the survival curves comparison is developed. The introduced procedure is an adaptation of the double minimum algorithm for the bandwidth selection in the smoothed nonparametric k-sample tests. The simulation study which was carried out, suggests us that the proposed method, although never is as good as the best one of the considered tests, is the most regular of them.
