similar to: coxph models for insects

Hello all: I'm attempting to run a Cox proportional hazards function on survival data from insects and I have a few questions. My current command that I'm using to call the model is as follows (using coxph() from the survival library): coxph(Surv(day, censor) ~ treatment + room + chamber %in% treatment, data = data.table) Day indicates which day a particular observation occurred, and

Terry, I recently noticed the censor argument of survfit. For some analyses it greatly reduces the size of the resulting object, which is a nice feature. However, when combined with the id argument, only 1 prediction is made. Predictions can be made individually but I'd prefer to do them all at once if that change can be made.

Dear R-users, I computed a simple coxph model and plotted survival over time with associated confidence intervals for 2 covariate levels (males and females). M1 <- coxph(survobject~sex, data=surv) M1 survsex <- survfit(survobject~sex,data=surv) summary(survsex) plot(survsex, conf.int=T, col=c("black","red"), lty = c(1,2), lwd=c(1,2), xlab="Time",

Hello, all R-users! I am working on fitting a survival analysis model using the coxph function for Cox proportional hazards regression model. Data look like usual: ========================== group block death censor Group1 1 4 1 Group1 1 12 1 ... Group2 30 4 1 Group2 30 4 1 ... Group3 57 16

Dear list: I am attempting to use what I thought would be a pretty straightforward practical application of Cox regression. I figure users of the survival package must have come across this problem before, so I would like to ask you how you dealt with it. I have set up an illustrative example and included it at the end of this post. I took a sample of 100 data points from each of two populations

Hello all R-helpers, I've performed an experiment to test for differential effects of elevated temperatures on three different groups of corals. I'm currently performing a cox proportional hazards regression with censoring on the survivorship (days to mortality) of each individual in the experiment with two factors: Temperature Treatment (2 levels: ambient and elevated) and

Hi. I am using Windows version of R 1.8.1. Being somewhat new to survival analysis, I am trying to compare cph (Design) with coxph (survival) for use with a survival data set. I was wondering why cph and coxph provide me with different confidence intervals for the hazard ratios for one of the variables. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong? Or if the two functions are calculating hazard

Dear R members, I am new in using frailty models in survival analyses and am getting some contrasting results when I compare the Wald and likelihood ratio tests provided by the r output. I am testing the survivorship of different sunflower interspecific crosses using cytoplasm (Cyt), Pollen and the interaction Cyt*Pollen as fixed effects, and sub-block as a random effect. I stratified

Dear all, I would have some questions on the coxph function for survival analysis, which I use with frailty terms. My model is: mdcox<-coxph(Surv(time,censor)~ gender + age + frailty(area, dist='gauss'), data) I have a very large proportion of censored observations. - If I understand correctly, the function mdcox$frail will return the random effect estimated for each group on the

Hi, I have a coxph model like coxph(Surv(start, stop, censor) ~ x + y, mydata) I would like to calculate the Schoenfeld residuals for the null, i.e the same model where the beta hat vector (in practical terms, the coeff vector spat out by summary()) is constrained to be all 0s --all lese stays the same. I could calculate it by hand, but I was wondering if there is a way of doing it with

Dear R users I would like to calculate the Cumulative incidence for an event adjusting for competing risks and adjusting for covariates. One way to do this in R is to use the cmprsk package, function crr. This uses the Fine & Gray regression model. However, a simpler and more classical approach would be to implement the Kalbfleisch & Prentice method (1980, p 169), where one fits cause

A few days ago I uploaded to CRAN a new package called 'eha', which stands for 'Event History Analysis'. Its main focus is on proportional hazards modeling in survival analysis, and in that respect eha can be regarded as a complement and an extension to the 'survival' package. In fact eha requires survival. Eha contains three functions for proportional hazards

Hello, My question concerns model selection, stepAIC(), add1(), and coxph(). In Venables and Ripley (3rd Ed) pp389-390 there is an example of using stepAIC() for the automated selection of a coxph model for VA lung cancer data. A statistics question: Can partial likelihoods be interpreted in the same manner as likelihoods with respect to information based criterion and likelihood ratio tests?

Dear List: I have a data frame prepared in the couting process style for including a binary time-dependent covariate. The first few rows look like this. PtNo Start End Status Imp 1 1 0 608.0 0 0 2 2 0 513.0 0 0 3 2 513 887.0 0 1 4 3 0 57.0 0 0 5 3 57 604.0 0 1 6 4 0 150.0 1 0 The outcome

Hello: I would like to run a Cox proportional hazards regression on crayfish dislodgement at different water velocities by crayfish size class and substrate (rock) type. Additionally, there is a covariate variable, rock movement that may be influencing crayfish dislodgment. So... I have crayfish size class (CFSZCL) and substrate type (SUBSZ) as fixed factors influencing the dislodgment of

Hi, I need a help in a survival analysis using survreg function with weibull distribution from survival package. Look the data sample: ########## Start of script dados <- structure(list(TFD = c(20L, 34L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 50L, 26L, 1L, 50L, 21L, 3L, 13L, 11L, 22L, 50L, 50L, 1L, 50L, 9L, 50L, 1L, 13L, 50L, 50L, 1L, 6L, 50L, 50L, 50L, 36L, 3L, 46L, 10L, 50L, 1L, 18L, 3L, 36L, 37L, 50L, 7L, 1L,

Dear all, I'm trying reproduce an example of bioassays Yielding Concentration-Mortality Data particularly control - adjustment model from book Bioassay of Entomopathogenic Microbes and Nematodes chapter 7 with R. I used glm with family=binomial and link=probit, but I do not know how to implement parameter gamma (control mortality - mortality of the untreated control insect in this exaple)

Dear R users, I tried to analysis the hazard function of some data by coxph function in survival package. The type of the data include "left-censored", "right-censored", "both right-censored and left-censored" (btw, does this has a technical term?), and "complete" ones. I noticed that event (one parameter in "Surv()") might be an indicator for the
