First Kaplan-Meier estimate
In this exercise, we will use the same data shown in the video. We will take a look at the survfit()
function and the object it generates. This exercise will help you explore the survfit
object.
The survival
package is loaded for you in this exercise.

Instrucciones del ejercicio
- Explore the use of the
survfit()
function by entering?survfit
in the console. - Compute the Kaplan-Meier estimate using
survfit()
. - Take a look at the structure of the
survfit
object usingstr()
. - Create a
data.frame
with the four time points, the corresponding number at risk (n.risk
), number of observations with an event (n.event
), number of observations censored (n.censor
) and the value of the survival curve (surv
). Take all info from thesurvfit
object.
