Statistics & Probability Letters, 1996, vol. 28, issue 2, 153-157

Abstract: In this article, we show that the exact distribution of the Kaplan-Meier estimator under the proportional hazards model is a weighted average of permutation distributions. A numerical comparison between the exact distribution and the normal approximation is also presented
