similar to: non-cumulative hazard in Cox model with time-dependent covariates

Dear all, I am confused with the output of survfit.coxph. Someone said that the survival given by summary(survfit.coxph) is the baseline survival S_0, but some said that is the survival S=S_0^exp{beta*x}. Which one is correct? By the way, if I use "newdata=" in the survfit, does that mean the survival is estimated by the value of covariates in the new data frame? Thank you very much!

Dear all, I think the coxph and survfit.coxph can give the cumulative hazard of cox model. But is there any method to calculate the hazard Lambda(t)=lambda_0(t)*exp{beta*X(t)}? Any suggestion will be great help. Thank you very much!

Hi everyone. There's been several threads on baseline hazard in Cox model but I think they were all on cumulative baseline hazard, for instance http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0464.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/0436.html "basehaz" in package survival seems to do a cumulative hazard. extract from the basehaz function: sfit <- survfit(fit) H

My question is, how to compute hazard function(H(t)) after building the coxph model. I even aware of the terminology that differs from hazard function(H(t)) and the hazard rate(h(t)). Here onward I wish to calculate both. Here what I have done in two different methods; ##########################################################################################

Hello , 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 advice from (who does not

Hello: So i've fit a hazard function to a set of data using kmfit<-survfit(Surv(int, event)~factor(cohort)) this factor variable, "cohort" has four levels so naturally the strata variable has 4 values. I can use this data to estimate the hazard rate haz<-n.event/n.risk and calculate the cumulative hazard function by H<--log(haz) Now, I would like to plot this

Hello everybody. First of all, I would like to present myself. I'm a french student in public health and I like statistics though I'm not that good in mathematics (but I try to catch up). I've discovered R recently while trying to find a statistical program in order to avoid rebooting my computer under windows when I need to do some statistical work. And here is my first question.

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 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

I am confused when trying the function survfit. my question is: what does the survival curve given by plot.survfit mean? is it the survival curve with different covariates at different points? or just the baseline survival curve? for example, I run the following code and get the survival curve #### library(survival) fit<-coxph(Surv(futime,fustat)~resid.ds+rx+ecog.ps,data=ovarian)

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

Hi all, Is there an equivalent to predict(...,type="linear") of a Proportional hazard model for a Cox model instead? For example, the Figure 13.12 in MASS (p384) is produced by: (aids.ps <- survreg(Surv(survtime + 0.9, status) ~ state + T.categ + pspline(age, df=6), data = Aidsp)) zz <- predict(aids.ps, data.frame(state = factor(rep("NSW", 83), levels =

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,

I am calculating cox propotional hazards models with the coxph function from the survival package. My data relates to failure of various types of endovascular interventions. I can successfully obtain the LR, Wald, and Score test p-values from the coxph.object, as well as the hazard ratio as follows: formula.obj = Surv(days, status) ~ type coxph.model = coxph(formula.obj, df) fit =

Dear all, I am using Windows and R 2.9.2 for my analyses. I have a large dataset and I am particularly interested in looking at time to an event for a continuous variable. I would like to produce a plot of log(relative risk) or relative risk (also known as hazard ratio) against the continuous variable. I have spent a long time looking for advice on how to do this but my search has proved

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

Hi Dear R-users I have a database with 18000 observations and 20 variables. I am running cox regression on five variables and trying to use survfit to plot the survival based on a specific variable without success. Lets say I have the following coxph: >library(survival) >fit <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age + rx, data = ovarian) >fit what I am trying to do is plot a survival

i want to make survival plots for a coxph object using survfit function. mod.phm is an object of coxph class which calculated results using columns X and Y from the DataFrame. Both X and Y are categorical. I want survival plots which shows a single line for each of the categories of X i.e. '4' and 'C'. I am getting the following error: > attach(DataFrame) >

Dear Prof. Brostr?m, Dear R-mailinglist, first of all thanks a lot for your great effort to incorporate time-varying covariates into aftreg. It works like a charm so far and I'll update you with detailled benchmarks as soon as I have them. I have one more questions regarding Accelerated Failure Time models (with aftreg): You mention that left truncation in combination with time-varying

Good afternoon, I am currently trying to do some work on survival analysis. - I hope to seek your advice re: 2 questions (1 general and 1 specific) (1) I'm trying to do a stratified Cox analysis and subsequently plot(survfit(object)). It seems to work for some strata, but not for others. I have tumor grade, which is a range of 1 - 4. When I divide this range of 1:4 into 2 groups, it
