Interactive Dynamic Graphics for Exploratory Survival Analysis

Abstract

The availability of powerful and inexpensive hardware and software for graphical computing makes the use of interactive dynamic graphics feasible for the examination of survival data. The use of these approaches may help the clinical researcher formulate specific hypotheses and select appropriate models. This paper describes some simple techniques, which were implemented in the LISP-STAT environment.

Key Words:

• Exploratory graphics
