MeSH Heading: Kaplan-Meier Estimate
Tree Number(s): E05.318.740.998.650; N05.715.360.750.795.650; N06.850.520.830.998.650
Unique ID: D053208
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053208
Scope Note: A nonparametric method of compiling LIFE TABLES or survival tables. It combines calculated probabilities of survival and estimates to allow for observations occurring beyond a measurement threshold, which are assumed to occur randomly. Time intervals are defined as ending each time an event occurs and are therefore unequal. (From Last, A Dictionary of Epidemiology, 1995)
Entry Term(s): Kaplan-Meier Analysis; Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve; Kaplan-Meier Survival Curves; Kaplan-Meier Test; Product-Limit Method
Previous Indexing: Survival Analysis (1990-2006)
