Hi all, Assume I have a data frame with numerical and factor variables that I got through merging various other data frames and subsetting the resulting data frame afterwards. The number levels of the factors seem to be the same as in the original data frames, probably because subset() calls [.factor without drop = TRUE (that's what I gather from scanning the mailing lists). I wonder if

Dear R users, is there any possibility to get an object-name completion within the R command line (UNIX-version of R). As I got to know from the FAQ that this is possible from within Emacs (ESS), but without using Emacs?

Hi, I'm sure this should be simple but I can't figure it out! I want to get the median survival calculated by the survfit function and use the value rather than just be able to print it. Something like this: library(survival) data(lung) lung.byPS = survfit(Surv (time, status) ~ ph.ecog, data=lung) # lung.byPS Call: survfit(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ ph.ecog, data = lung) 1

Hi, Is it normal to get intercept in the list of covariates in the output of survreg function with standard error, z, p.value etc? Does it mean that intercept was fitted with the covariates? Does Value column represent coefficients or some thing else? Regards, ------------------------------------------------- tmp = survreg(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ ecog.ps + rx, ovarian,

Dear all: Could anyone please provide some R codes to plot the below survival data to compare two groups (0 vs 1) after 2 simulations (TRL)? need 95% prediction interval on the plot from these 2 trials. I would like to simulate 1000 trials later. Thanks a lot for your great help and consideration! yan TRL ID ECOG BASE PTR8 GROUP POP ST ind 1 1 1 1 2.2636717 0.255634126 1 1 99.4 F 3 1 2 1

I was looking at how the model.frame method for lm works and comparing it to my own for coxph. The big difference is that I try to retain xlevels and predvars information for a new model frame, and lm does not. I use a call to model.frame in predict.coxph, which is why I went that route, but never noted the difference till now (preparing for my course in Nashville). Could someone shed light

Hello, I have questions regarding penalized Cox regression using survival package (functions coxph() and ridge()). I am using R 2.8.0 on Ubuntu Linux and survival package version 2.35-4. Question 1. Consider the following example from help(ridge): > fit1 <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ rx + ridge(age, ecog.ps, theta=1), ovarian) As I understand, this builds a model in which `rx' is

Dear R-users, is there any object-type or routine/function in R which can handle unequally spaced time-series data? I know that there is the library OSWALD for S-Plus, which is able to do so, but I was not successful in running it under R. Does anyone can help? Thank's in advance!

Calum had a long question about drawing survival curves after fitting a Weibull model, using pweibull, which I have not reproduced. It is easier to get survival curves using the predict function. Here is a simple example: > library(survival) > tfit <- survreg(Surv(time, status) ~ factor(ph.ecog), data=lung) > table(lung$ph.ecog) 0 1 2 3 <NA> 63 113 50 1

Hi I am trying to understand how to get the validate() function in Design to work with the subset option. I tried this: ovarian.cph=cph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age+factor(ecog.ps)+strat(rx), time.inc=1000, x=T, y=T, data=ovarian) validate(ovarian.cph) #fine when no subset is used, but the following two don't work: > validate(ovarian.cph, subset=ovarian$ecog.ps==2) Error in

Dear All: I have some questions about the output of coxph. Below is the input and output: ---------------------------------------- > coxph(formula = Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age + rx + ecog.ps, data = + ovarian, x = TRUE) Call: coxph(formula = Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age + rx + ecog.ps, data = ovarian, x = TRUE) coef exp(coef) se(coef) z p age 0.147 1.158

I am trying to fit a lognormal distribution on interval-censored data. Some of my intervals have a lower bound of zero. Unfortunately, it seems like survreg() cannot deal with lower bounds of zero, despite the fact that plnorm(0)==0 and pnorm(-Inf)==0 are well defined. Below is a short example to reproduce the problem. Does anyone know why survreg() must behave that way? Is there an alternate

Hi all, In R, it is not possible to set the font size of axis labels directly (AFAIK). Instead, scaling factors for the font chosen by the graphics device can be supplied. It appears that there is no constant font size for axis labels. My impression is that the axis label font size is scaled internally by R depending on the number of labels given for an axis. In addition to the R-internal

Hi, I recently migrated to a Samba3x domain. One issue that has been reported to me is that XP users cannot change their password from their PC. I have done some searching and I haven't seen a straight forward answer to this. My config is ldap primary + Samba PDC on host A ldap slave + samba BDC on host B I see this error in the machine log when someone attempts to change their password:

The coxme package has a ranef() method, as does lme4. I'm having trouble getting them to play together, as shown below. (The particular model in the example isn't defensible, but uses a standard data set.) The problem is that most of the time only one of lme4 or coxme will be loaded, so each needs to define the basic ranef function as well as a method for it. But when loaded together

Hello, Is there a function in the survival package that will allow me to test a subset of independent variables for joint significance? I am thinking along the lines of a Wald, likelihood ratio, or F-test. I am using the survreg procedure to estimate my parameters. Thank you.

Hi,Just a quick one, does anyone know the command for accessing the standard errors from a survreg object? I can access the coefficients by model$coefficients, but I cant seem to find a command to access the errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards,Andre [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
