Returns a confidence interval for a survival quantile.

Parameters
pfloat

The probability point for which a confidence interval is determined.

alphafloat

The confidence interval has nominal coverage probability 1 - alpha.

Returns
lbfloat

The lower confidence limit.

ubfloat

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.
