similar to: obtaining the values for the hazard function in a cox regression

>Hello, I am hoping for assistance in regards to examining the contribution of stratified variables in a cox regression. A previous post by Terry Therneau noted that "That is the point of a strata; you are declaring a variable to NOT be proportional hazards, and thus there is no single "hazard ratio" that describes it". Given this purpose of stratification, in the

-- begin included message --- I am hoping for some advice regarding obtaining the values for the hazard function in a cox regression that I have undertaken. I have a model in the following form, analysed with the package survival (v. 2.34-1) and a log-log plot obtained using Design (v. 2.1-2). For two variables, the lines in the survival curves crossed. The statistician I been obtaining

Hello, I have two questions regarding a survival analysis I have been working on. Below is the code to date. The variables: 1) recidivism$intDaysUntilFVPO are the number of days before an violent offence was committed - if no offence was committed than the days between court hearing and end of data collection was recorded. 2) recidivism$intDaysUntilFNVPO are the number of days before a

hi, i've the following problem: i want a XP pro sp1 to join my samba (3.0.5) domain (MHC). with my first try it complained that it could not resolve: _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.MHC i've fixed this with the following DNS setup: ------------------------------ _ldap._tcp.MHC. 600 IN SRV 0 100 389 server.MHC.

I have a very general question about what the centering option in basehaz does to factors. (basehaz computes the baseline cumulative hazard for a coxph object using the Breslow estimator). Lets say I'm interested in a survival model with two (dichotomous) factors and a continuous covariate. Variable Possible Values Factor1 0 or 1 Factor2 0 or 1

I've never seen this, and have no idea how to reproduce it. For resloution you are going to have to give me a working example of the failure. Also, per the posting guide, what is your sessionInfo()?

I am unable to get the basehaz function to apply a proportional hazards model to a new data frame. I replicated my specific situation with the example for coxph in the help, where I changed the x value of the first record from 0 to 1. Is there something incorrect in the syntax that I am using? Thanks in advance! test1 <- list(time= c(4, 3,1,1,2,2,3), status=c(1,NA,1,0,1,1,0),

Hello, I have a couple of questions with regards to fitting a coxph model to a data set in R: I have a very large dataset and wanted to get the baseline hazard using the basehaz() function in the package : 'survival'. If I use all the covariates then the output from basehaz(fit), where fit is a model fit using coxph(), gives 507 unique values for the time and the corresponding cumulative

Hello, I am hoping for some advice regarding warning/error messages I received when running a Cox regression # message 1 - obtained while creating a plot of residuals > plot (NV.zph, main = "groupNUSM - UNFIT", var= 'groupNUSM') Warning messages: 1: In approx(xx, xtime, seq(min(xx), max(xx), length.out = 17)[2 * : collapsing to unique 'x' values 2: In

hi, i've a debian sarge setup with samba 3.0.10 with ldap as SAM backend. every thing used to work as expected, but last week the machine went down. an analysis of the problem has showen, that with increasing uptime there is a growing number of smbd processes that caus 100% CPU utilation. tests have showen, that i can kill these processes without harming smb conecctivtiy. this is a

Hi there, I perform a stratified cox and then I need the strata as a  numeric array "straft.ln" ft.ln <- coxph(Surv(times,deaths)~ages+chemos+chemos:f1+chemos:f2+horms+horms:f1+horms:f2+grades+grades:f1+grades:f2+positives+positives:f1+positives:f2+sizes+sizes:f1+sizes:f2+strata(stra),data=ddd) basehazzft.ln=basehaz(ft.ln,centered=FALSE) H0ft.ln=c(basehazzft.ln[,1])

Dear R-users, I am checking the proportional hazard assumption of a cox model for a given covariate, let say Z1, after adjusting for other relavent covariates in the model. To this end, I fitted cox model stratified on the discrete values of Z1 and try to get beslow estimator for the baseline cumulative hazard function (H(t)) in each stratum. As far as i know, if the proportionality assumption

Hello R-users. I believe that the way basehaz (in the survival package) compute the baseline hazard function is false. I come to question this function when it gives me hazard probabilities greater than 1. Looking at the code I think I've localised the error : hazard probability is computed as : H <- -log(surv) but it seems to me that hazard probabilities is rather an instantaneous

I want use survfit() and basehaz() inside a function, but it doesn't work. Could you take a look at this problem. Thanks for your help. Following is my codes: library(survival) n <- 50 # total sample size nclust <- 5 # number of clusters clusters <- rep(1:nclust,each=n/nclust) beta0 <- c(1,2) set.seed(13) #generate phmm data set Z <- cbind(Z1=sample(0:1,n,replace=TRUE),

Dear All, I'm having just a little terminology problem, relating the language used in the Hosmer and Lemeshow text on Applied Survival Analysis to that of the help that comes with the survival package. I am trying to back out the values for the baseline hazard, h_o(t_i), for each event time or observation time. Now survfit(fit)$surv gives me the value of the survival function, S(t_i|X_i,B),

Dear R-help, I am trying to obtain the baseline survival estimate of a fitted Cox model (S_0 (t)). I know that previous posts have said use 'basehaz' but this gives the baseline hazard function and not the baseline survival estimate. Is there a way to obtain the baseline survival estimate or do I have to use the formula which does something like S(t) = exp[- the integral from 0 to t of

Hi, I am computing the Nelson-Aalen (NA) estimate of baseline cumulative hazard in two different ways using the "survival" package. I am expecting that they should be identical. However, they are not. Their difference is a monotonically increasing with time. This difference is probably not large to make any impact in the application, but is annoyingly non-trivial for me to just

Dear list, is there a function available which provides an estimate of the hazard function based on a cox proportional hazard model? I only found the cumulative hazard and the survival function as survfit options. Thanks for your help Peter

I submitted this to rmetrics help list as well... I've been using R-2.4 with Rmetrics successfuly for a year or two. I recently moved to Ubuntu Linux 8.04, loaded R via apt-get install R-base etc. etc... then in the R interface i ran install.packages("fMultivar"), chose the CRAN mirror and it loaded fMultivar and all the required dependecies. However, when I try to run the same
