similar to: cumulative incidence plot vs survival plot

Hi All, I'm trying to figure out the cumulative incidence curve in R in some limited time. I found in package "cmprsk", the command "plot.cuminc" can get this curve. But I noticed that there is no mark for the censored time there, comparing with the KM curve by "plot.survfit". Here are my codes (attached is the data): ----------------

Dear R users I would like to calculate the Cumulative incidence for an event adjusting for competing risks and adjusting for covariates. One way to do this in R is to use the cmprsk package, function crr. This uses the Fine & Gray regression model. However, a simpler and more classical approach would be to implement the Kalbfleisch & Prentice method (1980, p 169), where one fits cause

Dear R-help list members, I am trying to create my own axes when plotting a cumulative incidence curve using the plot.cuminc function in the CMPRSK library. The default x-axis places tick marks and labels at 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 (my data has an upper limit of 96), whereas I want them at my own specified locations. Here is my example code: library(cmprsk) attach(MYDATA) MYCUMINC <-

Hi All, I am running a scatter plot and trying to add a best fit line. I use an abline function, but get no line drawn over the points. I also get no error. I arm using V 2.10.0 on Windows 7. Here is my code, including the SAS transport file import: require (foreign) require (chron) require (Hmisc) require (lattice) clin <- sasxport.get("y:\\temp\\subset.xpt") attach(clin)

Hello, I have a problem regarding calculation of Cumulative Incidence Function. The event of interest is failure of bone-marrow transplantation, which may occur due to relapse or death in remission. The data set that I have consists of- lifetime variable, two indicator variables-one for relapse and one for death in remission, and the other variables are donor type (having 3 categories), disease

Dear Prof Gray and everyone, As our package developers discussed about incompatibility between Design and survival packages, I faced another problem with cmprsk- a survival dependent packacge. The problem is exactly similar to what happened to the Design package that when I just started running cuminc function, R was suddenly closed. These incidents suggest that maybe many other survival

Dear R-users Has anybody implemented a function/package that will compute an individual's risk of an event in the presence of competing risks, adjusted for the individual's covariates? The only thing that seems to come close is the cuminc function from cmprsk package, but I would like to adjust for more than one covariate (it allows you to stratify by a single grouping vector). Any

Dear friends: I'm interested to make a stacked plot of cumulative incidence. that's, the cuminc model is fitted [fit=cuminc(time, relapse)] and cumulative incidence is in place. I'd like to stack the cuminc plots (relapse of luekemia and death free from leukemia, for example) , then the constituent ratio of leukemia relapse and treatment related mortality is very clear. Can

Hi everyone, I am using the package cmprsk in R to estimate the cumulative incidence function and its variance. In the manual it is mentioned that the variance is calculated based on Dr. Aalen's paper (1978, Nonparametric estimation of partial transition probabilities in multiple decrement models). I would appreciate if someone could provide me with a source where the variance is expressed

Dear everyone, My question involves the use of the survival object. We can have Surv(time,time2,event, type=, origin = 0) (1) As detailed on p.65 of: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/survival/survival.pdf My data (used in my study) is 'right censored' i.e. my variable corresponding to 'event' indicates whether a person is alive (0) or dead (1) at date last seen

Hello everyone, (This is my second question posted today on the R list). I am carrying out a competing risks analysis using the cuminc function...this takes the form: cuminc(ftime,fstatus,group) In my study, fstatus has 3 different causes of failure (1,2,3) there are also censored cases (0). "group" has two levels (0 and 1). I therefore have 6 different cumulative incidence curves:

Hi, To use cuminc() from cmprsk package, if a subject has 2 events (both the event of interest and the event of competing risk), should I create 2 observations for this subject in the dataset, one for each event with different fstatus (1 and 2), or just 1 observation with whatever event that happened first? My analysis objective is calculate cumulative incidence for the event of interest.

Dear R-community, I would like to plot the numbers at risk for the different causes of failure at specific timepoints below a cumulative incidence function plot (plot.cuminc-function, cmprsk-package). For a Kaplan-Meier plot I know this is possible with the n.risk-argument in the survplot-function (rms-package), but to my knowledge no such readily-available functions are available for competing

First a statistical issue: The survfit routine will produce predicted survival curves for any requested combination of the covariates in the original model. This is not the same thing as an "adjusted" survival curve. Confusion on this is prevalent, however. True adjustment requires a population average over the confounding factors and is closely related to the standardized

What is the best way to report the standard error when publishing Kaplan-Meier plots? In my field (Vascular Surgery), practitioners loosely refer to the "10% error" cutoff as the point at which to stop drawing the KM curve. I am interpreting this as the *standard error of the cumulative hazard*, although I'm having a difficult time finding some guidelines about this (perhaps I am

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to put tick marks for censored observations using plot.cuminc for my competing risk analysis (survfit does this automatically). I've searched online for resources but found nothing. Does anybody know how to do this? Thank you in advance for your input. KC [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I get a warning about "1 warning message" using R CMD check on the survival library. It comes from the code snippet: if (library(cmprsk, logical.return=TRUE)) { # further test of competing risks from survfit . . } This is a very useful additional test when I'm checking any changes to the affected code, so I like having this in my test suite even though it doesn't run

Hi, I am taking a survival class. Recently I need to do the Nelson-Aalen estimtor in R. I searched through the R help manual and internet, but could not find such a R function. I tried another way by calculating the Kaplan-Meier estimator and take -log(S). However, the function only provides the summary of KM estimator but no estimated values. Could you please help me with this? I would

Dear R users, I d like to assess the effect of "treatment" covariate on a disease relapse risk with the package cmprsk. However, the effect of this covariate on survival is time-dependent (assessed with cox.zph): no significant effect during the first year of follow-up, then after 1 year a favorable effect is observed on survival (step function might be the correct way to say that ?).

Hello, I'm using plot.survfit to plot cumulative incidence of an event. Essentially, my code boils down to: cox <-coxph(Surv(EVINF,STATUS) ~ strata(TREAT) + covariates, data=dat) surv <- survfit(cox) plot(surv,mark.time=F,fun="event") Follow-up time extends to 54 weeks, but the last event occurs at week 30, and no more people are censored in between. Is there a
