Hi All, I have conducted the following survival analysis which appears to be OK (thanks BRipley for solving my earlier problem). > surv.mod1 <- survreg( Surv(timep1, relall6)~randgrpc, data=Dataset, dist="weibull", scale = 1) > summary(surv.mod1) Call: survreg(formula = Surv(timep1, relall6) ~ randgrpc, data = Dataset, dist = "weibull", scale = 1)

GUYS, I NEED HELP WITH ERROR: library(MASS) > dados<-read.table("mediaRGinverno.txt",header=FALSE) > vento50<-fitdistr(dados[[1]],densfun="weibull") Erro em fitdistr(dados[[1]], densfun = "weibull") : Weibull values must be > 0 WHY RETURN THIS ERROR?

Dear Knowledgeable R Community Members, Please excuse my ignorance, I apologize in advance if this is an easy question, but I am a bit stumped and could use a little guidance. I have a finite mixture modeling problem -- for example, a 2-component Weibull mixture -- where the components have a large overlap, and I am trying to adapt the "mclust" package which concern to normal

Hi I have been asked to provide Weibull parameters from a paper using Kaplan Meir survival analysis. This is something I am not familiar with. The survival analysis in R works nicely and is the same as commercial software (only the graphs are superior in R). The Weibull does not and produces an error (see below). Any ideas why this error should occur? My approach may be spurious.

Hi all I try to make a weibull survival analysis on R. I know make this on GLIM, and now I try to make the GLIM exercice GLEX8 on R to learning and compare the test. The variables are: time censor group bodymass In GLIM I make: $calc %s=1 $ to fit weibull rather than exponential $input %pcl weibull $ $macro model group*bodymass $endmac$ $use weibull t w %s $ Then, GLIM estimate an alpha for the

Dear All, I have two questions regarding distribution fitting. I have several datasets, all left-truncated at x=1, that I am attempting to fit distributions to (lognormal, weibull and exponential). I had been using fitdistr in the MASS package as follows: fitdistr<-(x,"weibull") However, this does not take into consideration the truncation at x=1. I read another posting in this

I'm getting errors when running what seems to be a simple Weibull distribution function: This works: x <- c(23,19,37,38,40,36,172,48,113,90,54,104,90,54,157,51,77,78,144,34,29,45,16,15,37,218,170,44,121) rate <- c(.01,.02,.04,.05,.1,.2,.3,.4,.5,.8,.9) year <- c(100,50,25,20,10,5,3.3,2.5,2,1.2,1.1) library(MASS) x <- sort(x) tryCatch( f<-fitdistr(x, 'weibull'), error

Hi all, I am trying to run Weibull PH model in R. Assume in the data set I have x1 a continuous variable and x2 a categorical variable with two classes (0= sick and 1= healthy). I fit the model in the following way. Test=survreg(Surv(time,cens)~ x1+x2,dist="weibull") My questions are 1. Is it Weibull PH model or Weibull AFT model? Call: survreg(formula = Surv(time, delta) ~ x1

Hello, I'm quite new to R and want to make a Weibull-regression with the survival package. I know how to build my "Surv"-object and how to make a standard-weibull regression with "survreg". However, I want to fit a translated or 3-parametric weibull dist to account for a failure-free time. I think I would need a new object in survreg.distributions, but I don't know how

Hello, is there a quick way of estimating Weibull parameters for some data points that are assumed to be Weibull-distributed? I guess I'm just too lazy to set up a Maximum-Likelihood estimation... ...but maybe there is a simpler way? Thanks for any hint (and yes, I've read help(Weibull) ;) Kaspar Pflugshaupt -- Kaspar Pflugshaupt Geobotanical Institute ETH Zurich, Switzerland

I was wondering if someone familiar with survival analysis can help me with the following. I would like to fit a Weibull curve, that may be dependent on a covariate, my dataframe "labdata" that has the fields "cov", "time", and "censor". Do I do the following? wieb<-survreg(Surv(labdata$time, labadata$censor)~labdata$cov,

Hello What is the appropriate method to test if a given distribution is a weibull thank you meriema email meriema.belaidouni at int-evry.fr

Hey all, I am trying to use the survreg function in R to estimate the mean and standard deviation to come up with the MLE of alpha and lambda for the weibull distribution. I am doing the following: times<-c(10,13,18,19,23,30,36,38,54,56,59,75,93,97,104,107,107,107) censor<-c(1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,0) survreg(Surv(times,censor),dist='weibull') and I get the following

Hi to all, I am working on design package using survival function. First using PSM and adopting a weibull specification for the baseline hazard , I have got the following results(since weibull has both PH and AFT propreties ,in addition I have used the PPHSm command): Value Std. Error z p (Intercept) 1.768 1.0007 1.77 7.73e-02 SIZE -0.707 0.0895 -7.90 2.80e-15

Dear list, dear Frank, I try to fit a Weibull survival regression model with package Design: sclear <- psm(sobj~V1+V2,dist="weibull") sobj is a one-dimensional survival object (no event indicators), V1 and V2 are factors. I get the following result: Parametric Survival Model: Weibull Distribution psm(formula = sobj ~ V1 + V2, dist = "weibull") Obs Events

Hi I am using R to fit a survival function to my data (with a weibull distribution). Data: Survival of individuals in relation to 4 treatments ('a','b','c','g') syntax: ---- > survreg(Surv(date2)~males2, dist='weibull') But I have some problems interpreting the outcome and getting the parameters for each curve. --------- Value Std.

Hi, I want to estimate parameters of weibull distribution. For this, I am using fitdistr() function in MASS package.But when I give fitdistr(c,"weibull") I get a Error as follows:- Error in optim(x = c(4L, 41L, 20L, 6L, 12L, 6L, 7L, 13L, 2L, 8L, 22L, : non-finite value supplied by optim Any help or suggestions are most welcomed -- View this message in context:

Hello, I would like to fit a mixture of two Weibull distributions to my data, estimate the model parameters, and compare the fit of the model to that of a single Weibull distribution. I have used the mix() function in the 'mixdist' package to fit the mixed distribution, and have got the parameter estimates, however, I have not been able to get the log-likelihood for the fit of this model

Dear Brian and R team, I am Dr. Aleem and I want to participate as a student in GSoC 2014 in the development of R. I have extensive experience in Statistical research and development and I am a student of advanced statistics applications. I strongly believe that the inclusion of Modified Weibull-G Family Distribution in R will significanlty help the reseasrch community in doing

Hi, dear R users I am a newbie in R and I wantto use the method of meximum likelihood to fit a Weibull distribution to my survival data. I use "optim" as follows: optim(c(1, 0.25),weibull.like,mydata=mydata,method="L-BFGS-B",hessian = TRUE) My question is: how do I setup the constraints so that the two parametrs of Weibull to be pisotive? Or should I use other function
