How can i add "competing casuse lines" in a Kaplan- Meier plot

Hi,

I am trying to do a Kaplan Meier plot eg comparison of survival across 2 treatments (Placebo vs drug) ( i am using ). Once i get my "failing" plot, i would like to control for a covariate eg age or sex. I would like to have in the same Kaplan Meier plot the additional 2 lines, of the corrected result for the covariate (eg sex). However, what JMP does is to create a second plot with these lines which is of difficult interpretation and does not help much. Is there any way to add these lines in the original Kaplan-meier plot?

Thank you in advance.

Would you please elaborate? E.g. which platform (there are two platforms in JMP that have KME), how did you specify launch dialog, how did you configure report (steps that you have done), which plot (failure or survival) do you refer to? And what is the "cause" in this case?

Hi, thanks for your interest.

I am not sure about the platform but i can explain what i am doing: from Analyse-->Reliability and Survival--> SUrvival.

In Y, time to event (my days up to the event), then Grouping: Treatment (Placebo vs Drug) and Censor the censor for the event (1, and 0). I then choose the Failing plot (but it would be similar the other way round for survival).

If you click on the red triangle (Product-Limit Survival Fit) you can choose competing causes which has been explained to me as "correcting for covariates". So i choose competing causes and then the Sex column of my subjects. I get a fitted Hazard (please see also Figure attaced but what i would actually like to have - if doable, is the first graph with 2 additional lines (which would be the "corrected" for sex failing plot- drug vs placebo.
