\title{Plotting Confidence Intervals for Survival Curves}
\description{ The \code{plot.surv} command generates confidence intervals for Kaplan-Meier survival curves}
\usage{
plot.surv(x, duration, censor, type = "line", plotcensor=TRUE,
plottimes = FALSE, int = c(0.025,0.975), ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{output from \code{sim} stored as a list. Each element of the list is the \code{sim} output for a particular survival curve.}
\item{duration}{the duration variable (e.g. lifetime, survival, etc.).}
\item{censor}{the censored data}
\item{type}{the type of confidence interval. Defaults to \code{"line"}, which draws vertical confidence intervals at observed event times. \code{"poly"} draws confidence regions using polygons.}
\item{plotcensor}{default is \code{TRUE}. Plots censoring times as a \code{rug} object.}
\item{plottimes}{default is \code{FALSE}. Plots step function with indicators at observed event times.}
\item{int}{vector of quantile limits for the confidence interval. Default is 95\% interval.}
\item{\dots}{Additional parameters passed to \code{plot}.}
}
\value{
For survival models, {\tt plot.surv()} returns vertical
confidence intervals or polygon survival regions for Kaplan-Meier survival curves. You may save this plot using the commands described in the
Zelig manual (\url{http://gking.harvard.edu/zelig}).
