Summary
Kaplan-Meier survival analysis is a statistical technique used to estimate the chance of survival (or failure) for a group of patients (or other objects) over time. It does this by partitioning the total time into intervals and computing the proportion of subjects who are still alive or still in the study at the end of each interval.
