Kaplan-Meier Curves

Continuing with my Excel-spreadsheets that do stuff theme, here is a sheet that helps calculate Kaplan-Meier curves, and does a Log-rank test. There is a web-resource that does it, but lately its ability to generate a Log-rank P-value statistic has been down. So, we had to improvise in our lab to continue calculating these things.

This tool is usually used to calculate the effect of a particular treatment on the mortality of an experimental population, compared to a control group. At least, that's what we use it for in our lab. Hope it helps someone who needs to do these statistics and finds no on-line resource to do it. . .

In other news, I have been spending my time writing. As a result, there isn't much news from my life. And I don't want to blog about progress (or lack thereof) on my thesis. And Anyesha has already written about the cupcakes, the highpoint of last week. So there. More later.
