    Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups

    Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery.

To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and Cox...
