Analysis of Survival Times

Michael R. Chernick, Robert H. Friis

Abstract

Survival analysis follows patients over time until the occurrence of a particular event. Estimating the survival of new patients about to experience a medical procedure Defining the survival function Life tables give estimates for survival during time intervals. The Kaplan–Meier curve is a nonparametric estimate of the survival curve. Survival curves based on just a few parameter estimates… Cure rate models can be estimated by using the same survival data… To compare two survival curves in a parametric family of distributions…
