Survival rate can be measured using various methods, depending on the nature of the disease and the available data. The most common methods include:
Kaplan-Meier Estimator: A non-parametric statistic used to estimate the survival function from lifetime data. Life Table Analysis: This method involves partitioning the observation period into intervals and calculating the survival rate for each interval. Cox Proportional Hazards Model: A semi-parametric model used to explore the relationship between the survival time of patients and one or more predictor variables.
