Royston et al. (1) recently suggested a method of presenting data that was complementary to Kaplan–Meier curves, with the aim to supplement ordinary survival probability plots with a direct and intuitive indication of the variability in survival times among individual patients. They showed how survival time histograms could be obtained by imputing censored survival times with values predicted by
