statsmodels.duration.survfunc.SurvfuncRight.quantile_ci

SurvfuncRight.quantile_ci(p, alpha=0.05, method='cloglog')[source]

Returns a confidence interval for a survival quantile.

Parameters:

p : float

The probability point for which a confidence interval is determined.

alpha : float

The confidence interval has nominal coverage probability 1 - alpha.

method : string

Function to use for g-transformation, must be ...

Returns:

lb : float

The lower confidence limit.

ub : float

The upper confidence limit.

Notes

The confidence interval is obtained by inverting Z-tests. The limits of the confidence interval will always be observed event times.
