Kaplan–Meier Estimator under Association

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 1998
This work studies the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the estimation of the hazard function in a model with censored failure times. The true survival times \(T_1,\dots T_n\), with common marginal \(F\), are not assumed mutually independent. They satisfy two different notions of weak dependence: a) They are positively associated, i.e.

A Generalized Kaplan-Meier Estimator

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1984
A class of nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators of the survival function based on incomplete or right-censored data is derived in the general situation that the time to death and the time to loss (censoring) are not necessarily independent. This is the competing risks problem with two causes of failure.

Extrapolating empirical long-term survival data: the impact of updated follow-up data and parametric extrapolation methods on survival estimates in multiple myeloma

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2023
Background In economic evaluations, survival is often extrapolated to smooth out the Kaplan-Meier estimate and because the available data (e.g., from randomized controlled trials) are often right censored.

Survival Analysis I: The Kaplan-Meier Method [PDF]

open access: yesNephron Clinical Practice, 2011
The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method is used to analyze ‘time-to-event’ data. The outcome in KM analysis often includes all-cause mortality, but could also include other outcomes such as the occurrence of a cardiovascular event. The purpose of this article is to explain the basic concepts of the KM method, to provide some guidance regarding the presentation of
