How to put censor tick marks in survival curve in JMP?

[#1]

Hi,

I was wondering how I can put censor tick marks on my survival curves generated in JMP? I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

Plotting censored values in a Life Distribution might have some useful information for you.

Something like this?

Takes a few steps but it's not too hard. The basic idea is this:

• Run the analysis in the Survival Platform
• Find the table of survival data in the report, right-click, choose "Make into Combined Data Table."
• Fire up the Graph Builder and make the line plot. In JMP 12, you can produce the survival curves using the "Step" option in the line connection selection box.
• Start a separate Graph Builder window and create a scatterplot that shows the censored values only. I used the local data filter for this.
• Right click in the scatterplot window and choose Edit > Copy Frame Contents.
• Right click in the line plot window and choose Edit > Paste Frame Contents.

Message me if you want a more complete walkthrough.

Cheers,

Dear Jordan, 

I have tried your method but I can't seem to build the right survival curve using the graph builder tool.

Do you mind uploading a video tutorial on how you actually made those censor ticks? Cracking my head trying to include those censor ticks in my survival curves though.

Hello,

There is an addin that does this here: https://community.jmp.com/docs/DOC-7472

The censored values are plotted on the x-axis, rather than on the curve itself.
