Each subject gets a true event time drawn from an exponential hazard. With probability equal to the censoring slider, a subject also gets a random dropout time before the end of the study ā if that dropout happens first, the subject is censored: still alive when last observed, not "dead", and not thrown away.
S(t) = Ī _{t_i ⤠t} (1 ā d_i / n_i)
d_i = events at time t_i, n_i = subjects still at risk at t_i
log-rank ϲ = (Oā ā Eā)² / V, summed per-event-time OāE and variance
- The step chart drops only at event times, never at censoring times.
- Small tick marks on the curve mark exactly when a censored subject left the risk set.
- The timeline strip above the curve shows every subject: a line ending in Ć (event) or | (censored).
- In compare mode, Group B has a lower hazard (longer survival) so the curves separate ā the log-rank ϲ summarizes how unlikely that separation is under "no real difference".
