title: Interactive statistical analysis of survival data.
abstract: This paper describes a SAS macro which facilitates the interactive analysis of right-censored survival data. Such data commonly occur in medical studies. The program produces Kaplan-Meier survival curves on a wide variety of graphics devices. The program also performs log-rank and generalized Wilcoxon significance tests among all plotted curves and for each pairwise contrast if desired. Because the program is intelligent and does not prompt the user for information that it can independently obtain, it is quite easy to use.
