Solution by Steps
step 1
To find an estimator of widehatVar[log(hatS(t))]\\widehat{V a r}[\\log (\\hat{S}(t))], we start with Greenwood's formula, which provides the variance of the Kaplan-Meier estimator. The formula is given by: widehatVar[hatS(t)]=frachatS(t)2n(t)\\widehat{V a r}[\\hat{S}(t)] = \\frac{\\hat{S}(t)^2}{n(t)}, where n(t)n(t) is the number of individuals at risk at time tt. Using the Delta method, we can express the variance of the log-transformed estimator as: widehatVar[log(hatS(t))]=left[frac1hatS(t)right]2widehatVar[hatS(t)]\\widehat{V a r}[\\log (\\hat{S}(t))] = \\left[\\frac{1}{\\hat{S}(t)}\\right]^2 \\widehat{V a r}[\\hat{S}(t)]. Thus, we have: widehatVar[log(hatS(t))]=fracwidehatVar[hatS(t)]hatS(t)2\\widehat{V a r}[\\log (\\hat{S}(t))] = \\frac{\\widehat{V a r}[\\hat{S}(t)]}{\\hat{S}(t)^2}
step 2
To build a confidence interval for log(S(t))\\log (S(t)), we use the estimator from step 1. The confidence interval can be constructed as: log(hatS(t))pmzalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[log(hatS(t))]\\log (\\hat{S}(t)) \\pm z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{V a r}[\\log (\\hat{S}(t))]}, where zalpha/2z_{\\alpha/2} is the critical value from the standard normal distribution for the desired confidence level
step 3
To transform this interval to create an interval for S(t)S(t), we exponentiate the bounds of the confidence interval obtained in step 2. Therefore, the confidence interval for S(t)S(t) is given by: left(elog(hatS(t))−zalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[log(hatS(t))],elog(hatS(t))+zalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[log(hatS(t))]right)\\left( e^{\\log (\\hat{S}(t)) - z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{V a r}[\\log (\\hat{S}(t))]}}, e^{\\log (\\hat{S}(t)) + z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{V a r}[\\log (\\hat{S}(t))]}} \\right)
step 4
For the complementary log-log transformed confidence interval, we first need to find an estimator of widehatVar[log−log(hatS(t))]\\widehat{V a r}[\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\}]. Using the Delta method again, we have: widehatVar[log−log(hatS(t))]=left[frac−1hatS(t)log(hatS(t))right]2widehatVar[hatS(t)]\\widehat{V a r}[\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\}] = \\left[\\frac{-1}{\\hat{S}(t) \\log (\\hat{S}(t))}\\right]^2 \\widehat{V a r}[\\hat{S}(t)]
step 5
To build a confidence interval for log−log(S(t))\\log \\{-\\log (S(t))\\}, we use the estimator from step 4. The confidence interval can be constructed as: log−log(hatS(t))pmzalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[log−log(hatS(t))]\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\} \\pm z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{V a r}[\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\}]}
step 6
Finally, to transform this interval to create an interval for S(t)S(t), we need to exponentiate the bounds of the confidence interval obtained in step 5. The confidence interval for S(t)S(t) is given by: left(e−elog−log(hatS(t))−zalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[log−log(hatS(t))],e−elog−log(hatS(t))+zalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[log−log(hatS(t))]right)\\left( e^{-e^{\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\} - z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{V a r}[\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\}]}}}, e^{-e^{\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\} + z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{V a r}[\\log \\{-\\log (\\hat{S}(t))\\}]}}} \\right)

Solution by Steps
step 1
To find an estimator of widehatVar[log(hatS(t))]\\widehat{Var}[\\log(\\hat{S}(t))], we start with Greenwood's formula, which provides the variance of the Kaplan-Meier estimator: widehatVar[hatS(t)]=frachatS(t)2n(t)\\widehat{Var}[\\hat{S}(t)] = \\frac{\\hat{S}(t)^2}{n(t)}. Using the Delta method, we have: g(hatS(t))=log(hatS(t))g(\\hat{S}(t)) = \\log(\\hat{S}(t)) and g′(hatS(t))=frac1hatS(t)g'(\\hat{S}(t)) = \\frac{1}{\\hat{S}(t)}. Thus, the estimator becomes: widehatVar[log(hatS(t))]=left(frac1hatS(t)right)2cdotwidehatVar[hatS(t)]=frachatS(t)2n(t)hatS(t)2=frac1n(t)\\widehat{Var}[\\log(\\hat{S}(t))] = \\left(\\frac{1}{\\hat{S}(t)}\\right)^2 \\cdot \\widehat{Var}[\\hat{S}(t)] = \\frac{\\hat{S}(t)^2}{n(t) \\hat{S}(t)^2} = \\frac{1}{n(t)}
step 2
Now, we build a confidence interval for log(hatS(t))\\log(\\hat{S}(t)). Using the normal approximation, the confidence interval is given by: log(hatS(t))pmzalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[log(hatS(t))]=log(hatS(t))pmzalpha/2cdotfrac1sqrtn(t)\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) \\pm z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{Var}[\\log(\\hat{S}(t))]} = \\log(\\hat{S}(t)) \\pm z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{n(t)}}
step 3
Finally, we transform this interval to create an interval for S(t)S(t). Exponentiating the bounds gives us: left(expleft(log(hatS(t))−zalpha/2cdotfrac1sqrtn(t)right),expleft(log(hatS(t))+zalpha/2cdotfrac1sqrtn(t)right)right)=left(frachatS(t)expleft(zalpha/2cdotfrac1sqrtn(t)right),hatS(t)cdotexpleft(zalpha/2cdotfrac1sqrtn(t)right)right)\\left(\\exp\\left(\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) - z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{n(t)}}\\right), \\exp\\left(\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) + z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{n(t)}}\\right)\\right) = \\left(\\frac{\\hat{S}(t)}{\\exp\\left(z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{n(t)}}\\right)}, \\hat{S}(t) \\cdot \\exp\\left(z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{n(t)}}\\right)\\right)
step 4
For part (b), we start with widehatVar[log(hatS(t))]\\widehat{Var}[\\log(\\hat{S}(t))] and apply the Delta method again for the transformation g(hatS(t))=−log(hatS(t))g(\\hat{S}(t)) = -\\log(\\hat{S}(t)). The first derivative is g′(hatS(t))=−frac1hatS(t)g'(\\hat{S}(t)) = -\\frac{1}{\\hat{S}(t)}. Thus, we have: widehatVar[−log(hatS(t))]=left(−frac1hatS(t)right)2cdotwidehatVar[hatS(t)]=frac1n(t)hatS(t)2\\widehat{Var}[-\\log(\\hat{S}(t))] = \\left(-\\frac{1}{\\hat{S}(t)}\\right)^2 \\cdot \\widehat{Var}[\\hat{S}(t)] = \\frac{1}{n(t) \\hat{S}(t)^2}
step 5
We build a confidence interval for −log(hatS(t))-\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) using the normal approximation: −log(hatS(t))pmzalpha/2sqrtwidehatVar[−log(hatS(t))]=−log(hatS(t))pmzalpha/2cdotsqrtfrac1n(t)hatS(t)2-\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) \\pm z_{\\alpha/2} \\sqrt{\\widehat{Var}[-\\log(\\hat{S}(t))]} = -\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) \\pm z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{n(t) \\hat{S}(t)^2}}
step 6
Transforming this interval gives us: left(expleft(−log(hatS(t))−zalpha/2cdotsqrtfrac1n(t)hatS(t)2right),expleft(−log(hatS(t))+zalpha/2cdotsqrtfrac1n(t)hatS(t)2right)right)=left(frac1hatS(t)cdotexpleft(zalpha/2cdotsqrtfrac1n(t)hatS(t)2right),frac1hatS(t)cdotexpleft(−zalpha/2cdotsqrtfrac1n(t)hatS(t)2right)right)\\left(\\exp\\left(-\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) - z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{n(t) \\hat{S}(t)^2}}\\right), \\exp\\left(-\\log(\\hat{S}(t)) + z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{n(t) \\hat{S}(t)^2}}\\right)\\right) = \\left(\\frac{1}{\\hat{S}(t) \\cdot \\exp\\left(z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{n(t) \\hat{S}(t)^2}}\\right)}, \\frac{1}{\\hat{S}(t) \\cdot \\exp\\left(-z_{\\alpha/2} \\cdot \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{n(t) \\hat{S}(t)^2}}\\right)}\\right)
