unclear std error for Kaplan Meier estimator #22

@tbeason

Description

@tbeason

The standard error for the Kaplan-Meier estimator returns what I would consider to be only "half" of the correct value. Perhaps this is just a misunderstanding on my part, but I think it should return the square root of the variance of the survival function. Right now, it does not. To actually make it the standard error of the survival curve, you need to multiply the two (AKA km.survival .* km.stderr).

Should I make a PR to fix this, or was it intentional?
