A graphical approach to the analysis of censored data.
The presence of censoring has hampered the graphical exploration of survival data. We present several graphical approaches to the analysis of such data here, many based on functionals of the distribution function and estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the distribution function. Topics covered include comparing two samples, comparing many samples, and regression.
