For a continuous proper event time with cumulative hazard function and survivor function , use the assumed inverse of . For ,
Therefore the integrated-hazard transformation is unit exponential:
This cumulative hazard probability transformation is the basis for the following survival-model residual diagnostics.
Throughout the survival questions, use the paper's notation for the survivor function, not for a cumulative distribution function. To construct the Kaplan–Meier estimator, sort the distinct observed event times . Let be the size of the risk set immediately before , and the number of events at that time. The estimated conditional chance of surviving that event time is . Multiplying these conditional probabilities gives
A right censoring time reduces later risk sets but causes no jump itself. The usual interpretation as a population survivor function uses independent censoring.
