[R] C-statistics (AUCs) from rcorr.cens or survcomp time-dependent ROC curves
I am using the rcorr.cens function from the Hmisc package and the time-dependent ROC curve obtained using tdrocc in the survcomp package. I understand that the C statistic from rcorr.cens has to be subtracted from 1 if high values of the risk variable lower survival. Given that I wonder what the connection is between that C statistic and the AUC from the tdrocc object. Are they expected to be the same ? Many thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
