Show Cumulative Events Plot<br />

This plot shows the estimated cumulative number of events (Figure 18.10). The observed cumulative<br />

numbers of events are also displayed on this plot. If Time to Event Format is used, both axes are scaled<br />

logarithmically.<br />

Figure 18.10 Cumulative Events Plot<br />

For the Crow-AMSAA model, the cumulative number of events at time t is given by λt β . It follows that the<br />

logarithm of the cumulative number of events is a linear function of log(t). So, the plot of the estimated<br />

Cumulative Events is linear when plotted against logarithmically scaled axes.
