Kaplan-Meier Confidence interval.

Iancar29 · 2016-05-18 10:27:08

Hi guys just wondering if anyone could lend some help on the formula for the 95% confidence interval. i have it as S(t) +/- Z(α/2) * SE So for 95% does the Z value become 1.96 i.e S(t) +/- 1.96 * SE ? Just that my answers aren't matching r output even though my S(t) & SE is correct. Thanks in advance.

Did you take the square root of the variance?
