Dear colleagues, I have a dataset that looks as below. I would like to make a new dataset that excludes the cases which are joint conjunctions of particular state names and years, so Connecticut and 2010, Maryland and 2010 and Vermont and 2010. I'm trying the following subset code: newdata<- subset(bpa, (!State=="Connecticut" & year<"2010")) It appears that

Dear R users, I am trying to use "muhaz" and "plot.muhaz" functions in "muhaz" package to estimate and plot hazard funciton. However function "muhaz" always gives error message "Error in Surv(times, delta) : object "times" not found". I could not even run their sample codes in the user's manual as follows: data(ovarian)

Hello, Is it possible to create confidence intervals for hazard rates? ?I'm creating two muhaz objects:? haz1 <- muhaz(NumDaysCustomer[cRV=="true"],status[cRV=="true"]) haz2 <- muhaz(NumDaysCustomer[cRV=="false"],status[cRV=="false"]) and plotting them. ? There are many, many more observations in the cohort cRV=="false" than

Hello, If all I have access to is an empirically calculated hazard function, is it possible to compute an approximate value for the mean lifetime? I know that if the hazard function is essentially constant, the mean lifetime is 1/hazard rate. ?But if I'm confident that the empirical hazard function is not constant, I'm not sure how to go about calculating an estimate of mean lifetime.

Hello. ?I am hoping someone will be willing to help me understand something about hazard plots created with muhaz(...). ?I have some background in statistics (minor in grad school), but I haven't been able to figure one thing about hazard plots. ?I am using hazard plots to track customer cancellations. ?I figure I can treat a cancellation as a "death", and if someone is still a

Dear All, I would like to ask if it is possible to estimate a hazard function using the muhaz command when all the data is right-censored. My data has information of the number of weeks people has been unemployed but all of them are unemployed at the date of the survey, that is, I cannot observed when the individuals leave the unemployment state. I appreciate your help, Best, Monica L.

Dear all, I am using Windows and R 2.9.2 for my analyses. I have a large dataset and I am particularly interested in looking at time to an event for a continuous variable. I would like to produce a plot of log(relative risk) or relative risk (also known as hazard ratio) against the continuous variable. I have spent a long time looking for advice on how to do this but my search has proved

Hi, I want to plot non parametric estimates of the empirical hazard function for right censored data. I've tried many functions from different packages (muhaz, Design, survival, eha, event), but none of them gave me what I wanted. Am I missing something? Here's what I want. The data below is the same used by Kiefer (J. Economic Literature, 1988), which in turns use a subset of the data

Hi everyone. There's been several threads on baseline hazard in Cox model but I think they were all on cumulative baseline hazard, for instance http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0464.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0436.html "basehaz" in package survival seems to do a cumulative hazard. extract from the basehaz function: sfit <- survfit(fit) H

Dear maintainers and R-devel, Several orphaned CRAN packages are about to be archived due to outstanding QC problems, but have CRAN and BioC packages depending on them which would be broken by the archival (and hence need archiving alongside). Therefore we are looking for new maintainers taking over maintainership for one or more of the following packages: R2HTML SemiPar cghseg hexbin lgtdl

Dear R-users, I would like to fit a fully parametric proportional hazard model with a weibull baseline hazard and a logit link function. This is, the hazard function is: lambda_i (t) = lambda_0 (t) psi (x_i* beta) where lambda_0 is a weibull distribution and psi a logistic distribution. Does someone know a package and/or function on R to do this? Thanks. -- M.L. Avendaño [[alternative HTML

Greetings -- I would like to estimate a proportional hazard model with a weibull or lognormal baseline. I have looked at both the coxph() and survreg() functions and neither appear (to me ) to do it. Am I missing something in the docs or is there another terrific package out there that will do this. Many Thanks. Carl Mason

Dear All, I'm having just a little terminology problem, relating the language used in the Hosmer and Lemeshow text on Applied Survival Analysis to that of the help that comes with the survival package. I am trying to back out the values for the baseline hazard, h_o(t_i), for each event time or observation time. Now survfit(fit)$surv gives me the value of the survival function, S(t_i|X_i,B),

Hello everybody. First of all, I would like to present myself. I'm a french student in public health and I like statistics though I'm not that good in mathematics (but I try to catch up). I've discovered R recently while trying to find a statistical program in order to avoid rebooting my computer under windows when I need to do some statistical work. And here is my first question.

I'm trying to understand how a latent state matrix is updated by the MCMC iterations in a WinBUGS model, using the package R2WinBUGS and an example from Kery and Schaub's (2012) book, "Bayesian Population Analysis Using WinBUGS". The example I'm using is 7.3.1. from a chapter on the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model. Some excerpted code is included at the end of this message;
