Patient soreness treatment
You are studying a treatment for muscle soreness recurrence in patients. You want to use the Kaplan-Meier estimator to visualize the rate at which patients receiving the treatment encounter soreness episodes.
The DataFrame is called recur
and contains columns
age
: the age of the patient;time_0
: the time that the patient received the treatment;time_1
: the last time of an event, or the last time you measured a censored patient;censor
: whether the event is censored;
The pandas
package is loaded as pd
, the KaplanMeierFitter
class is imported from lifelines
, and the pyplot
module has been import from matplotlib
as plt
.
