Censor Variables

Use this feature to specify one or more variables whose values indicate whether the values in the Survival variable are censored.

A censor variable must be selected when performing analysis of a survival trait. This variable indicates which observations have been censored - often, this is an indicator of whether a patient is living at the end of a study.

To Specify One or More Censor Variables:

Specify the input data set.

All of the variables in the specified input data set are displayed in the Available Variables field.

Examine the list of available variables.
