| Resumo: | In this work some of the classical applications of bootstrap methods to survival analysis are reviewed. First the bootstrap estimate of the variance and the bias-corrected estimate of the median for the Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survival function are considered. After this, more recent topics are considered such as methods for constructing confidence bands for the estimate of the survival function and exact and approximated tests to compare two survival functions. In the last two situations the bootstrap proves to be helpful in approximating the necessary critical values. |
