Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Statview. Anyone know how to set up a datasheet to do this analysis in this program? I know this is an incredible longshot.
My husband emailed me to see if I could do a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for him. I have the spreadsheet (survival and dropout -censored- patients over time) but I'm working from home today and only have the statview stats program (which is old and no longer available) here on my laptop. I only use this program for ANOVAs and other simple tests and don't know how to set up the datasheet to perform the K-M analysis. The help section is useless, I don't have the manual here, and google is failing me bigtime. Is anyone more competent with Statview than me?

Best answer: If you don't find it, R is free to download for all platforms and does this easily.

If you have trouble getting your data into R, just say so. R is kind of a beast to learn, but if you save-as the excel as csv, read.csv() should be able to do it. If you want help on a command, type ?thecommandname at the prompt, or check out the "manuals" link from the first link that I gave you.
