similar to: model.frame problem

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

I'm puzzled by as.matrix. It appears to work differently for Surv objects. Here is a session from my computer: tmt% R --vanilla > library(survival) Loading required package: splines > ytest <- Surv(1:3, c(1,0,1)) > is.matrix(ytest) >[1] TRUE > attr(ytest, 'type') [1] "right" > attr(as.matrix(ytest), 'type') [1] "right" >

Dear All, reposting, because I did not find a solution, maybe someone could check the example below. It's taken from the help page of survdiff. Executing it, gives the error "Error in floor(temp) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function" best regards, Heinz library(survival) ## Example from help page of survdiff ## Expected survival for heart transplant patients based

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

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

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,

Hi all, I found that the two different versions of "survival" packages, namely 2.36-5 vs. 2.36-8 or later, give different results for coxph function. Please see below and the data is attached. The second one was done on Linux, but Windows gave the same results. Could you please let me know which one I should trust? Thanks, ...Tao #####============================ R2.13.0,

So, in that sense notes are no different from warnings. --------------------------------- Getting rid of these notes would be very hard in the survival package. The population survival routines (survexp, pyears)

I've never seen this, and have no idea how to reproduce it. For resloution you are going to have to give me a working example of the failure. Also, per the posting guide, what is your sessionInfo()?

I am not sure if this is the right place for that kind of questions, but I wondered that the recommended package survival did not pass R's check procedure without warnings: 1) unbalanced braces: * Rd files with unbalanced braces: * man/Surv.Rd * man/cluster.Rd * man/cox.zph.Rd * man/coxph.Rd * man/coxph.detail.Rd * man/date.ddmmmyy.Rd * man/lines.survfit.Rd *

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

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, ")")

Dear List, Is there an automated way to use the survival package to generate survival rate estimates and their standard errors? To be clear, *not *the survivorship estimates (which are cumulative), but the survival *rate * estimates... Thank you in advance for any help. Best, Brian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

I received the following note this AM. The problem is, I'm not quite sure how to fix it. Can one use PROTECT(coxlist(eval(PROTECT.... , do I create an intermediate variable, or otherwise? I'm willing to update the code if someone will give me a pointer to the right documentation. This particular chunk was written when there was a lot of change going on in the callback mechanism and

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

I'm looking for a function in R similar to t.test() which was generously pointed out to me yesterday, but which can be used for normally distributed data. To recap yesterday: > x <- scan() 1: 62 52 68 23 34 45 27 42 83 56 40 12: Read 11 items > alpha<- .05 > t.test(x) One Sample t-test data: x t = 8.8696, df = 10, p-value = 4.717e-06 alternative hypothesis: true

Hi, I am experimenting with the function predict() in two versions of R and the R extension package "survival". library(survival) set.seed(123) testdat=data.frame(otime=rexp(10),event=rep(0:1,each=5),x=rnorm(10)) testfm=as.formula('Surv(otime,event)~x') testfun=function(dat,fm) { predict(coxph(fm,data=dat),type='lp',newdata=dat) } # Under R 2.11.1 and
