Prism actually computes the Mantel-Haenszel method, which is nearly identical to the log-rank method (they differ only in how they deal with two subjects with the same time of death). One example of proportional hazards would be if the control group died at twice the rate as treated group at all time points. Proportional hazards means that the ratio of hazard functions (deaths per time) is the same at all time points.
The log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test is the more powerful of the two tests if the assumption of proportional hazards is true.It doesn't ask for your preference, but always reports both. Prism compares two survival curves by two methods: the log-rank test (also called the Mantel-Cox test) and the Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon test. Interpreting results: Comparing two survival curves We could plot a survival curve for each cell line and compared them as follows: Data are censored when you simply don’t know what happened to the subject after that time, or do know but can’t use the Enter ‘1’ for a subject if the event (death) occurred at the time entered into X.
Enter elapsed time (usually in days) as X (Prism does not let you enter dates).(You can optionally use row titles to identify the subjects.) Each column represents a treatment. After, you enter data as follows:Įach row represents a distinct subject. With graphpad prism 5, you have to choose the survival button then you choose the kind of graph you want and the way to express your results (as fractions, percent.). I used graphpad prism 5 to plot survival curves.
