survival analysis3
Abbreviated Outline
Survival data are summarized through estimates of the survival function and hazard function.
Methods for estimating these functions from a sample of right-censored survival data are described.
These methods are nonparametric. Non-informative censoring is assumed.
![Page 4: Survival analysis 1 The greatest blessing in life is in giving and not taking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649d2b5503460f94a00e47/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Non-informative Censoring
The knowledge of a censoring time for an individual provides NO further information about this person’s likelihood of survival at a FUTURE time had the individual continued on the study.

survival analysis5
Nonparametric Methods
Distribution free: no assumptions about the underlying distribution of the survival times.
Less efficient than parametric methods if the survival times follow a theoretical distribution.
More efficient when no suitable theoretical distributions are known.

survival analysis6
Nonparametric Methods
Estimates obtained by nonparametric methods can be helpful in choosing a theoretical distribution, if the main objective is to find a parametric model for the data.

survival analysis7
Example: 6-MP
A case-control study Experimental drug: 6-mercaptopurine (6-
MP) for treating acute leukemia 11 American hospitals participated 42 patients with complete or partial
remission of leukemia were randomly assigned to either 6-MP or a placebo
21 patients per group Patients were followed until their leukemia
relapse or until the end of the study

Also called product-limit estimator The standard estimator of the
survival function using right-censoring data

Kaplan-Meier Estimator
Data: n individuals with observed survival
times: z1, z2, …, zn. Some of them may be right-censored. There may be > 1 individuals with the
same observed survival time. Let r be the number of distinct
uncensored survival times among zis.

Understanding K-M Estimator
The K-M estimator was constructed by a reduce-sample approach.
The K-M estimator is an extension of the empirical survivor function.

Life-table Estimate
Also called actuarial estimate For large data sets Grouping survival times into intervals The process is similar to the formation
of a frequency table and a histogram in elementary statistics.
