Ok David, Thanks for clearing my misconception. Then could you please
suggest me how I could get the KM estimate for a time point. I remember
reading the formula
for calculating the KM. Do, I have to write a method to compute the KM
estimate or will the survival package provide it for me?


Thank you so much in advance.

Regards,
Kishor
