Parameters
----------
durations: an array, list, pd.DataFrame or pd.Series
length n -- duration subject was observed for
event_observed: an array, list, pd.DataFrame, or pd.Series, optional
True if the the death was observed, False if the event was lost (right-censored). Defaults all True if event_observed==None
timeline: an array, list, pd.DataFrame, or pd.Series, optional
return the best estimate at the values in timelines (postively increasing)
entry: an array, list, pd.DataFrame, or pd.Series, optional
relative time when a subject entered the study. This is useful for left-truncated (not left-censored) observations. If None, all members of the population
entered study when they were "born".
label: string, optional
a string to name the column of the estimate.
alpha: float, optional
the alpha value in the confidence intervals. Overrides the initializing alpha for this call to fit only.
left_censorship: bool, optional (default=False)
True if durations and event_observed refer to left censorship events. Default False
ci_labels: tuple, optional
add custom column names to the generated confidence intervals as a length-2 list: [<lower-bound name>, <upper-bound name>]. Default: <label>_lower_<1-alpha/2>
weights: an array, list, pd.DataFrame, or pd.Series, optional
if providing a weighted dataset. For example, instead
of providing every subject as a single element of `durations` and `event_observed`, one could
weigh subject differently.
