SPSS FOR BIOLOGISTS: KAPLAN MEIER PLOT FOR OVERALL SURVIVAL ANALYSIS

SPSS for biologists: Kaplan Meier Survival Analysis using IBM Statistics

KAPLAN MEIER PLOT

Kaplan-Meier curves are widely used in clinical and fundamental research.It is also called Kaplan-Meier estimator or the product limit estimator(a non parametric statistics).

1. It involves the calculation of the probability of each event at the time it occurs.
2. It shows probability of an event for example survival rate is at certain time interval.
3. If the sample size is large enough, the curve should approach the true survival function for the population under investigation.

HOW TO PERFORM KAPLAN MEIER SURVIVAL ANALYSIS?

In this tutorial we have showed the dataset of the patients having the information about their disease and how this information(like expression of the genes) is affecting the survival rate ?
