Abstrakt: A linear Bayes estimator of a survival curve is derived.The estimator has a relatively simple interpretation as a Kaplan-Meier estimator based on an augemented data base - prior information plus sampling information.It is Bayes if the prior is a Dirichlet process, and otherwise an approximation to the Bayes rule against any prior.
