Is this sbrier from package ipred?
The short answer is that it contains
ptype <- class(pred)
and assumes that is of length one. For a survfit.coxph fit it is of class
c("survfit.cox", "survfit"). I suspect from the help page
that this is
not supported, but you need to contact the authors (as the posting guide
suggests).
