Kaplan Meier curves: an introduction

<p>Kaplan-Meier curves are widely used in clinical and fundamental research, but there are some important pitfalls to keep in mind when making or interpreting them. In this short post, I&rsquo;m going to give a basic overview of how data is represented on the Kaplan Meier plot.</p> <p>The Kaplan-Meier estimator is used to estimate the survival function. The visual representation of this function is usually called the Kaplan-Meier curve, and it shows what the probability of an event (for example, survival) is at a certain time interval. If the sample size is large enough, the curve should approach the true survival function for the population under investigation.</p> <p><a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/kaplan-meier-curves-c5768e349479"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
