similar to: error message trying to plot survival curves from hypothetical covariate profiles

Last Friday, I noticed that it is difficult to work with regression models in which there are factors. It is easier to do the old fashioned thing of coding up "dummy" variables with 0-1 values. The predict function's newdata argument is not suited to insertion of hypothetical values for the factor, whereas it has no trouble with numeric variables. For example, if one uses a

Dear colleagues, I have a dataset that looks as below. I would like to make a new dataset that excludes the cases which are joint conjunctions of particular state names and years, so Connecticut and 2010, Maryland and 2010 and Vermont and 2010. I'm trying the following subset code: newdata<- subset(bpa, (!State=="Connecticut" & year<"2010")) It appears that

Dear colleagues, I have the following dataset. It is modelled on the data included in Box-Seteffenheiser and Jones "Event History Modelling" Using the following code, I try to find the baseline hazard function haz_1<-muhaz(bpa$time, bpa$censored, subset=(bpa$year=="2010" | bpa$ban=="1"), min.time=1, max.time=3) I think I'm doing everything right, but what I

I am trying to plot two density lines on the same graph. Using the functions on the base package, I would go: plot(density(x), col = 1) lines(density(y), col = 2) And I get two distinct (one-bump) density lines. When I try to do it using lattice, I get two two-humped lines. (In other words, I think the smoothing function is taking the next set of data points and smoothing them in the same

Hi! I'm using the Naive Bayes classifier provided by the e1071 package ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071) and I've noticed that the predict function has a different behavior when the level set of the columns used for prediction is different from the ones used for fitting. From inspecting the predict.naiveBayes I came to the conclusion that this is due to the conversion of

Dear r-users, Does anyone know how to draw time-dependent survival curves? Example: Event outcome: CHD Time-dependent covariate: NSAID use, which changes over time for each subject I'm interested in survival curves stratified by NSAID use. I'd like to implement Simon & Makuch (1984) method. Is there a R package/function to draw this graph?

Hello, We are using frailty models to estimate risk of one year death. Is there a way to generate survival curves adjusted for covariates and also include frailty term? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks! LV [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I tried to plot a clustered linear regression model with the cplot command in R (code below). Leaflet is a binary variable (I know logit would be better), partisan is nummeric variable (0-4) and partisan_mis a dummy (0,1). As you can see it is clustered around two variables: around individuals and around the specific survey. When I try to run the cplot command I always get this error message:

Dear all, I have a quasipoisson glm for which I need confidence bands in a graphic: gm6 <- glm(num_leaves ~ b_dist_min_new, family = quasipoisson, data = beva) summary(gm6) library('VIM') b_dist_min_new <- as.numeric(prepare(beva$dist_min, scaling="classical", transformation="logarithm")). My first steps for the solution are following: range(b_dist_min_new)

Hello, Any advice or pointers for implementing Sobel's test for mediation in 2-level model setting? For fitting the hierarchical models, I am using "lme4" but could also revert to "nlme" since it is a relatively simple varying intercept model and they yield identical estimates. I apologize for this is an R question with an embedded statistical question. I noticed that a

Hi I am trying to determine the mean of a Weibull function that has been fit to a data set, adjusted for a categorical covariate , gender (0=male,1=female). Here is my code: library(survival) survdata<-read.csv("data.csv") ##Fit Weibull model to data WeiModel<-survreg(Surv(survdata$Time,survdata$Status)~survdata$gender) summary(WeiModel) P<-pweibull(n,

Dear Alina If I understand you correctly you cannot just have a single predicted curve but one for each level of your factor.

Hi, I am performing meta-regression using linear mixed-effect model with the lme() function that has two fixed effect variables;one as a log transformed variable (x) and one as factor (y) variable, and two nested random intercept terms. I want to save the predicted values from that model and show the log curve in a plot ; predicted~log(x) mod<-lme(B~log(x)+as.factor(y),

Dear all, Let's assume I have a clinical trial with two treatments and a time to event outcome. I am trying to fit a Cox model with a time dependent treatment effect and then plot the predicted survival curve for one treatment (or both). library(survival) test <- list(time=runif(100,0,10),event=sample(0:1,100,replace=T),trmt=sample(0:1,100,replace=T)) model1 <- coxph(Surv(time,

Thank you Michael, Curves for each level of the factor sounds very interesting, Do you have a suggestion how to plot them? Thank you!

Hello again, It appears that get_all_vars() incorrectly handles model formulae that use a right-hand side (rhs) matrix. For example, consider these two substantively identical models: # model using named variables mpg <- mtcars$mpg wt <- mtcars$wt hp <- mtcars$hp m1 <- lm(mpg ~ wt + hp) # model using matrix y <- mtcars$mpg x <- cbind(mtcars$wt, mtcars$hp) m2 <- lm(y ~ x)

In Venables \& Ripley 3rd edition (p. 231) the proportional odds model is described as: logit(p<=k) = zeta_k + eta but polr apparently thinks there is a minus in front of eta, as is apprent below. Is this a bug og a feature I have overlooked? Here is the naked code for reproduction, below the results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- version

Hello, I am trying to run a logistic regression with random effects on proportional data in glmmBUGS. I am a newcomer to this package, and wondered if anyone could help me specify the model correctly. I am trying to specify the response variable, /yseed/, as # of successes out of total observations... but I suspect that given the error below, that is not correct. Also, Newsect should be a

Dear useRs, I am using the gamm function in the mgcv package to model a smooth relationship between a covariate and my dependent variable, while allowing for quantification of the subjectwise variability in the smooths. What I would like to do is to make subjectwise predictions for plotting purposes which account for the random smooth components of the fit. An example. (sessionInfo() is at
