Kaplan-Meier Survival Plot in Python, R, Julia and JavaScript

Source code in 15 libraries — Python: Altair, Bokeh, lets-plot, Matplotlib, Plotly, plotnine, Pygal, Seaborn; R: ggplot2; Julia: Makie.jl; JavaScript: Chart.js, D3.js, Apache ECharts, Highcharts, MUI X Charts.

A Kaplan-Meier survival plot visualizes the probability of survival (or event-free time) over a time period using a step function. It is the standard method for estimating survival functions from time-to-event data, handling censored observations where the event has not yet occurred. The plot shows how survival probability decreases over time, with optional confidence intervals and comparison between groups.
