Hi -- I am trying the survival package to draw kaplan meier curve but returned with unexpected result. here is my data: d, status: 1 mean died, 0 means still alive. gene status days 1 ko 1 81 2 ko 1 119 3 ko 1 92 4 ctrl 1 19 5 ctrl 1 15 6 ko 0 41 7 ctrl 1 16 8 ko 0 41 9 ctrl 1 21 10 ko 0 41 11 ctrl 0 41 12 ko 0 41 13 ctrl 1 31 survfit(Surv(days, status)~gene, data=d) -> fit plot(fit, conf.int=F, col=2:3, lty=1:2) as attached, the green one is ko genotype which can live longer. But there should have alive mice left, 4 out of 7, as the data shows. Could any help me on this point? Wenhuo Hu -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The 12th data point looks like it's formatted differently than the others (a space after it). That might give rise to the one alive mouse showing up as a cross at ~day 100. Incidentally, something like this looks right: d <- data.frame(gene=c(1,1,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2), status=c(1,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1), days=c(81,119,92,19,15,41,16,41,21,41,41,41,31)) survfit(Surv(days, status)~gene, data=d) -> fit plot(fit, conf.int=F, col=2:3, lty=1:2) That gives 8 deaths in total, and 5 alive mice (plotted on top of each other at day41).

Thank Susan and Heidi for your help. The space in the data were introduced by mistake when I trying to give a simple example of my data. Sorry for this. I got the points to interpretate such data. This is the best way to present observations of partially alive, since we don't know when and by what they will die. Really appreciate it.
