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.

Istruzioni dell'esercizio

  • 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 using str().
  • 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 the survfit object.

Prova a risolvere questo esercizio completando il codice di esempio.

# Create time and event data
time <- c(5, 6, 2, 4, 4)
event <- c(1, 0, 0, 1, 1)

# Compute Kaplan-Meier estimate
km <- survfit(___(___, ___) ~ ___)
km

# Take a look at the structure
str(___)

# Create data.frame
data.frame(time = km$time, n.risk = ____, n.event = ____,
  n.censor = ____, surv = ___)
