Abstract:
In this article we wish to present and encourage the other to use bootstrap methods in statistical analysis. We show how to bootstrap Kaplan-Meier estimator and pay attention to its advantage opposite to classical analysis. Then we present simulation study and survival time of second remission of patients suffering for acute leukaemia.
