Survival curve quantiles from a Weibull model
We can now estimate the survival of the breast cancer patients in the GBSG2 data using a Weibull model.
The predict() function with type = "quantile" allows us to compute the quantiles of the distribution
function. As we learned in this course so far, the survival function is 1 - the distribution function
(\(S = 1 - D\)), so we can easily compute the quantiles of the survival function using the predict() function.
The survival package and GBSG2 data are loaded for you in this exercise.

Инструкции к упражнению
- Estimate a Weibull model for the breast cancer patients.
- Get the time point at which the probability of surviving longer than that time point is 70 Percent (using the
predict()function withtype = "quantile").
