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'm new to R and using it for Cox survival analysis. Thanks to this great forum I learned how to compute the HR with its confidence interval. My question would be: Is there any way to get the p-value for a hazard ratio in addition to the confidence interval? Thanks, Thierry -- Thierry Panje Visiting Student Researcher Department of Psychology Stanford

Hi, Here is the summary-output of the Coxph-model I used (the output is based on the best final model i.e. all significant explanatory variables and their interactions are included): coxph(formula = Y ~ LT + Food + Temp2 + LT:Food + LT:Temp2 + Food:Temp2 + LT:Food:Temp2) n= 555 coef exp(coef) se(coef) z

Hello Everyone,   I'm learning how to perform various statistical analyses in R. I'm checking my understanding by replicating examples from my SAS books. Below is an attempt to replicate a Cox Proportional Hazards model with a time-varying covariate. I think I'm doing this correctly but am not completely sure. I would appreciate it if someone could double-check my results. In case

Hi all, I am using a 'tricked' Cox Hazard regression model for discrete choice habitat modelling. However, I'm having a hard time understanding the meaning of the first line the following part of the summary() output: Rsquare= 0.307 (max possible= 0.475 ) Likelihood ratio test= 91.8 on 12 df, p=2.23e-14 Wald test = 26.3 on 12 df, p=0.00977 Score (logrank) test = 58.6 on 12 df,

Hello! I want to compare two Kaplan-Meier-Curves by using the Logrank-Test: logrank(Surv(time[b], status[b]) ~ group[b]) This way I only get the value of the test-statistic, but not the p-value. Does anybody know how I can get the p-value? Thanks in advance! Verena Hoffmann

Hi useRs, Many studies of the link between red meat and colorectal cancer use Cox proportional hazards with (among other things) a gender covariate. If it is true that men eat more red meat, drink more alcohol and smoke more than women, and if it is also true that alcohol and tobacco are known risk factors then why does it make sense to "adjust" for gender? I would think that in this

Hello, I need to implement variable selection procedures (such as stepwise and backward selection) in Cox proportional hazards model, but can't seem to find an R or S-plus command for these procedures. I am aware that these can be done in SAS. I would appreciate help from anyone who knows how to implement these procedures in Cox models using S-plus or (preferably) R. Thanks! Regards,

Dear All, I am contemplating centering the covariates in my Cox model to reduce multicollinearity between the predictors and the interaction term and to render a more meaningful interpretation of the regression coefficient. Suppose I have two indicator variables, x1 and x2 which represent age categories (x1 is patients less than 16 while x2 is for patients older than 65). If I use the following

Hi. I used coxph(surv(start,end,event)~~event,data) to deal with interval censor data. Does anyone know similar samples using coxph(surv(start,end,event)~~event,data)? If you knows, can you tell me? I'll really appreciate it. Thank you very much R learner.

I would like to perform a permutation test for Cox proportional hazards regression model. I only find it for t-test and other tests (e.g. comparing two medians). Is there a way that I can perform a Cox PH model in R or SAS for the LR-test? I am doing the following B <- 1000; LRtestx <- rep(NA,B); Srv <- Surv(Time, Event); for(j in 1:B){ LRtestx[j] <-

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

I know that mvrnorm from MASS (generously provided by Profs. Venables and Ripley) can be used to generate multivariable normal data that can be used in a linear regression with certain desired characteristics (e.g. a given mean for each variable as well as a given variance-covariance pattern). Is there any similar facility that can be used to generate data for (1) a logistic regression and (2) a

Hello all I would like to visualize the hazard ratios of a cox proportional hazards model. I have seen some good examples in the New England Journal of Medicine: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/353/26/2747/F3 http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/350/26/2654/F2 (I hope these are open access, but I am not sure) And something similar in the book 'R Graphics' by Paul

I'm getting unexpected results from the coxph function when using weights from counter-matching. For example, the following code produces a parameter estimate of -1.59 where I expect 0.63: d2 = structure(list(x = c(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1), wt = c(5, 42, 40, 4, 43, 4, 42, 4, 44, 5, 38, 4, 39, 4, 4, 37, 40, 4, 44, 5, 45, 5, 44, 5), riskset =

Hello, My advisor and I have been working on some survivorship analyses in R and we are hoping to get some feedback on a particular issue involving nesting. We are interested in patterns of food discovery by ant species. Our observations consist of time to discovery by an ant for three different food types, each of two different sizes. These data were collected at 6 plots located in each of

Hi, I am just wondering if there is a test available for testing if a linear fit of an independent variable in a Cox regression is enough? Thanks for any suggestions. John Zhang ____________________________________________________________________________________ [[elided Yahoo spam]]

Buenas. Abajo pongo la salida de un modelo de cox , dónde he estratificado por una variable de país (Countryb) y por otra (Q6). Además hay interacción entre la variable mobilityPDurG2 (es una variable 0,1, y 0 es la categoría de referencia) país. La categoría de referencia para país es "united kingdom". Mi duda surge si quiero calcular el hazard ratio para los que tienen un 1
