horizontal steps of declining magnitude which, when a large enough sample is taken, approaches the true survival function for that population. The value of the survival function between successive distinct sampled observations ("clicks") is assumed to be constant. If a patient withdraws from a study, i.e. is lost from the sample before the final outcome is observed then small vertical tick-marks on the plot indicate losses, where a patient's survival time has been right-censored.
