Data Import and Variable Requirements
Upload XLSX, CSV, TSV or pasted data, review cleaning, then select the dependent, independent, grouping, paired, time, item, rater or study variables required by Kaplan–Meier Survival. For Kaplan–Meier Survival Calculator, map Follow-up time, Event indicator (1=event, 0=censored) from the cleaned browser-local table; every mapped variable remains editable before calculation, and the active dataset remains available while you work with this selected test and when you return to the Test Finder.
Uploaded files are processed locally in the browser. The cleaning report appears before variable selection, and the selected cleaned columns are mapped to this exact calculator rather than a generic fallback.

How the Kaplan–Meier Survival Calculator Works
S(t) is the product over event times of (1−d_i/n_i).
The calculation runs in the browser. Submitted values are validated for required numeric ranges, data shape, units and method-specific restrictions before results are shown.
Assumptions and Checks
- The study design and variable scales match the named method.
- Independence, pairing, ordering, censoring, grouping or rater structure is represented correctly.
- Missing values and influential observations are reviewed before inference.
Required Inputs
- Follow-up time (required)
- Event indicator (1=event, 0=censored) (required)
Results Reported
The result workspace shows the final answer and intermediate quantities needed to audit the calculation. Depending on the method, reported values include:
- Sample Size
sample_size - Events
events - Censored
censored - Median Survival
median_survival - Final Survival
final_survival

How to Use This Workspace
- Confirm that the method matches the quantity, hypothesis, model or planning question you need to solve.
- Enter values with compatible units and the requested sample, group, matrix, count, date or option format.
- Use Example Data to inspect a valid input layout, or enter your own values and run the calculation.
- Review the result table, formula, substitutions, warnings and interpretation rather than relying only on the headline number.
- Copy, download or print the result when you need a reusable analysis record.
Understanding and Reporting the Result
Review the Kaplan–Meier Survival estimate or test statistic, uncertainty or p-value where applicable, assumptions, chart and research-question interpretation. In the Kaplan–Meier Survival Calculator result workspace, interpret Sample Size, Events, Censored, Median Survival, Final Survival together with the method assumptions, warning messages, confidence information, effect magnitude, and diagnostic plots shown for the selected variables.
Review the formula, units, assumptions, and result interpretation before using the calculation.
Keep the entered values, units, selected options and any warning shown beside the result. For a hypothesis test, report the statistic, degrees of freedom where applicable, p-value, alpha level, effect size and decision. For an estimate or conversion, report the formula convention and final unit.
How to Report the Result
Report Kaplan–Meier Survival, the analyzed variables and valid sample size, the principal estimate or statistic, degrees of freedom and p-value or confidence interval where available, assumptions, and a conclusion tied to the research question. A reproducible Kaplan–Meier Survival Calculator report should identify the mapped variables, valid observations, exclusions or missing-data handling, selected options, principal outputs, uncertainty, diagnostics, and the practical conclusion supported by the analysis.
Accuracy and Limitations
The calculator keeps full browser precision during calculation and rounds only for display. Accuracy still depends on correct inputs and on whether the displayed model represents the real problem. Educational calculators cannot replace required professional review, current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods or specialist statistical software where those are necessary.
