兩者之間有乜關係(output),例如指定嘅因素係「受咗邊隻療法」-想像將病人分「接受咗療法 A 嘅病人」同「接受咗療法 B 嘅病人」兩組,同兩組各自噉畫條線,研究者可以靠住生還分析計嘅數比較兩條線(詳情可以睇下面 log-rank 測試),得知「接受咗療法 A 嘅病人,會唔會生存得耐過接受咗療法 B 嗰啲?」噉嘅資訊。呢啲研究會幫到醫療工作者思考點樣更有效噉照料同醫啲病人[1]。

"A key characteristic of survival data is that the response variable is a non-negative discrete or continuous random variable, and represents the time from a well-defined origin to a well-defined event."
