Nelson–Aalen estimator

ID: nelson-aalen-estimator

The Nelson–Aalen estimator is a non-parametric estimator used in survival analysis to estimate the cumulative hazard function based on censored survival data. It is especially useful when dealing with time-to-event data where some observations may be censored, meaning that for some subjects, we only know that the event has not occurred by the end of the study or observation period.
