The log-rank test is used to find the difference between two curves. It is a nonparametric test. It is also known as the Mantel-Cox test. It compares the estimates of hazard functions at each observed time. It will test two hypotheses: there is no difference in the survival function based on gender, and there is a difference in survival function based on gender.
