similar to: survexp - example produces error

Dear All, when I try to reproduce an example of survexp, taken from the help page of survdiff, I receive the error message "Error in floor(temp) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function" . It seems to come from match.ratetable. I think, it has to do with character variables in a ratetable. I would be interested to know, if it works for others. With an older version of

Hello, I probably have a syntax error in trying to generate an expected survival curve from a weighted cox model, but I can't see it. I used the help sample code to generate a weighted model, with the addition of a "weights=albumin" argument (I only chose albumin because it had no missing values, not because of any real relevance). Below are my code with the resulting error

This is a follow-up on my note of Saturday. Let me start with two important clarifications - I think this would be a nice addition, but I've had exactly one use for it in the 15+ years of developing the survival package. - I have a work around for the current case. Prioritize accordingly. The ideal would be to change survexp as follows: fit <- survexp( ~ gender,

The survexp function can fail when called from another function. The "why" of this has me baffled, however. Here is a simple test case, using a very stripped down version of survexp: survexp.test <- function(formula, data, weights, subset, na.action, rmap, times, cohort=TRUE, conditional=FALSE, ratetable=survexp.us, scale=1, npoints, se.fit,

survexp in survival5 doesn't seem to work for me. see below: > library(survival5) Attaching Package "package:survival5": The following object(s) are masked from package:base : sort.list > library(chron) > data(ratetables) > survexp(~ratetable(year=julian(6,1,1991), + sex=1,age=35*365.24),times=(0:30)/6*365.24) Error in as.character(as.date(c(min(R[, 3]),

Dear All, Does someone have, or know of survexp ratetables for european contries, especially Austria and Germany? I know only about slopop in the package relsurv. Thanks in advance Heinz T??chler

I agree, the Changelog.09 file is not as comprehensive as one would like. Specific comments: 1. The ratetables were recently changed to accomodate a new option. I thought

Dear all, I am having a (really) hard time getting pyears to work together with a ratetable to give me the number of expected events (deaths). I have the following data: dos, date of surgery, as.Date dof, date of last follow-up, as.Date dos, date of surgery, as.Date sex, gender, as.factor (female,male) ev, event(death), 0= censored at time point dof, 1=death at time point dof Could someone

Hello, I am interested in producing the expected number of events, in a recurring events setting. I am using the Andersen-Gill model, as fit by the function "coxph" in the package "survival." I need to produce expected numbers of events for a cohort, cumulatively, at several fixed times. My ultimate goal is: To fit an AG model to a reference sample, then use that fitted model

The model.frame function has trouble with a certain type of really long formula. Here is a test: tname <- paste('var', 1:50, sep='') tmat <- matrix(rnorm(500), ncol=50, dimnames=list(NULL, tname)) tdata <- data.frame(tmat) temp1 <- paste( paste(tname, tname, sep='='), collapse=', ') temp2 <- paste("~1 + cbind(", temp1, ")")

Hello, and thank you in advance. I would like to capture the expected survival from a coxph model for subjects in an observational study with recurrent events, but the survexp statement is failing due to memory. I am using R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08) on Windows XP. My objective is to plot the fitted survival with the Kaplan-Meier plot. Below is the code with output and [unfortunately]

Dear All, to my surprise as.factor does not accept a levels argument. Maybe I did not read the documentation well enough. See the example below. I wanted to use ch1 as factor in the newdata argument of survfit, so I assumed that I could write as.factor(ch1, levels=ch1), since the order should be kept. But as.factor(ch1, levels=ch1) results in the error: Error in as.factor(ch1, levels = ch1)

Hi, I run a script file by dropping it on a windows batch file that runs R in --slave modus. In a subfunction there is the call to file.choose(). The problem is, that the dialog does show only folders but no files at all. It's quite strange: a) without --slave modus the files are shown, b) when I copy the whole script file in a different file it was also ok, but when I renamed the script, the

Hi all, I believe there is an issue with passing NULL to the function I(). class(NULL) # "NULL" (as expected) print(NULL) # NULL (as expected) is.null(NULL) # TRUE (as expected) According to the documentation I() should return a copy of its input with class "AsIs" preprended: class(I(NULL)) # "AsIs" (as expected) print(I(NULL)) # list() (not expected!

Hello, I'm attempting to use the ratetable argument to survexp in the survival package. I use the example from the ?survexp help page below, and then slightly modify it to produce an error. library(survival) data(pbc) #fit a model without any factors pfit1 <- coxph(Surv(time, status > 0) ~ trt + log(bili) + log(protime) + age + platelet, data=pbc) #this works as expected

Dear R-users, I have a couple of questions about the relsurv package: 1) when I try to run the example: fit <- rsmul(Surv(time,cens)~sex+as.factor(agegr)+ratetable(age=age*365.24,sex=sex,year=year),ratetable=slopop,data=rdata) with the datasets in the package (rdata and slopop) it gives me an error: Error in nrow(x) : object "x" not found 2) If I have a date format

Dear All, since years I am struggling with Surv objects in data.frames. The following seems to have to do with it. See below the modified example from the help page of survSplit. The original works, as expected. If, however, a Surv object is added to the data.frame, each record gets doubled. Is there some solution other than avoiding Surv objects in data.frames? Thanks, Heinz
