A study is conducted to estimate survival in patients followingkidney transplant. Key factors thatadversely affect success of the transplant include advanced age and diabetes. This study involves 25participants who are 65 years of age and older and all have diabetes. Following transplant, eachparticipant is followed for up to 10 years. The following are times to death, in years, or the time to lastcontact (at which time the participant was known to be alive).Deaths:1.2, 2.5, 4.3, 5.6, 6.7, 7.3 and 8.1 yearsAlive:3.4, 4.1, 4.2, 5.7, 5.9, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 7.3, 8.2, 8.6, 8.9, 9.4, 9.5, 10, 10, 10, and10 yearsUse the life table approach to estimate the survival function.
