Methods Lab · Survival Lab

Explore survival, follow-up and censoring.

Simulate two synthetic groups and compare generating survival with observed Kaplan–Meier curves, uncertainty and people at risk.

Open tool

What it explores

Choose sample size, baseline risk, hazard ratio, follow-up, latent dropout probability and seed. Events are exponential with constant proportional hazards; dropout is independent. Inspect pointwise 95% log–log intervals and download eight reproducible outputs.

Assumptions and limits

The hazard ratio is not a risk ratio. Latent dropout probability is not the observed censored fraction. Intervals at survival 0 or 1 are unavailable rather than perfectly precise. This version has no Cox model, log-rank test, p-values, power, competing risks or real-data import.

Reproduce and export

Observed and latent data, dictionary, parameters, standalone R script, plot PNG, summary and risk-table CSV. Edited controls remain pending until Simulate; downloads retain the last successful result.

Synthetic simulation in your browser

These apps generate synthetic participants only. Calculations run in browser memory; no R installation is required. Initial loading downloads the R runtime and packages. Language changes preserve controls and executed results.

For teaching and methodological exploration. Results do not establish clinical efficacy or recommend treatments.
