Dear all, does anyone know how I can extract specific p-values for covariates from an aftreg object? After fitting a model with aftreg I can find all different variables by using str(), but there's no place where p-values are kept. The odd thing is that print() displays them correctly. EXAMPLE: > testdata start stop censor groupvar var1 var2 1 0 1 0

Hi, I'm estimating a loglogistic aft (accelerated failure time) model, just a simple plain vanilla one (without time dependent covariates), I'm comparing the results that I obtain between aftreg (eha package) and survreg(surv package). If I don't use any covariate the results are identical , if I add covariates all the coefficients are the same until a precision of 10^4 or 10^-5 except

This kind of error seems to surprise R users. It surprises me that it doesn't happen much more frequently. The "BFGS" method of optim() from the 1990 Pascal version of my book was called the Variable Metric method as per Fletcher's 1970 paper it was drawn from. It really works much better with analytic gradients, and the Rvmmin package which is an all-R version that adds bounds

Hi list! I'm getting an error message when trying to fit an accelerated failure time parametric model using the aftreg() function from package eha: > Error in optim(beta, Fmin, method = "BFGS", control = list(trace = > as.integer(printlevel)), : > non-finite finite-difference value [2] This only happens when adding four specific covariates at the same time in the

Dear useRs, I am currently fitting an advanced failure time model using G?ran Brostr?m's excellent "eha" library with the "aftreg" command. My question: How do I interpret the "Overall p-value", that is reported at the very bottom of the output? I already figured out it must be a chi-square test, but I am wondering what a p-value < 0.01 means: Does it mean

Dear R-users, I have two samples with individuals that are in more than one of the samples and individuals that are only in one sample. I have been trying to do a pooled hazard model, stacking one sample below the other, with aftreg and time-dependent covariates. The idea behind is to see aggregate effects of covariates, but need to control for ther effects of same individuals in both samples

G?ran, thanks for the update, I'm just about to install it! Just wanted to drop you a short line about performance (as you once requested): aftreg takes ages on my windows machine to calculate a small set of 7 observations which are not even grouped together by "id". To be a bit more precise, it takes 2:40 mins on my Intel T9300 Core2 Duo @ 2.5 GHz. Bigger samples with about 700

Dear R-users, I need to use the aftreg function in package 'eha' to estimate failure times for left truncated survival data. Apparently, survreg still cannot fit such models. Both functions should be fitting the accelerated failure time (Weibull) model. However, as G?ran Brostr?m points out in the help file for aftreg, the parameterisation is different giving rise to different

Dear all, I have some trouble using the "id"-argument with aftreg (accelerated failure time regression analysis from the eha library). As far as I understand it, the id argument is used to group individuals together if there are time-varying covariates and the data is arranged in counting process style. Unfortunately, i cannot figure out how to use the "id"-argument. The

I have a data frame containing the Id, Mother, Father and Sex from about 10,000 animals in our colony. I am interested in graphing simple family trees for a given subject or small number of subjects. The basic idea is: start with data frame from entire colony and list of index animals. I need to identify all immediate relatives of these index animals and plot the pedigree for them. We're

I need to remove certain interactions and keep only the one between the second level of the factor and the continuous var t2 bin4 <- glm(resp2~ t*t2+c5.vrm,data=dfa,family="quasibinomial") > summary(bin4) Call: glm(formula = resp2 ~ t * t2 + c5.vrm, family = "quasibinomial", data = dfa) Deviance Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -6.5464

In the first line, use the dist function, found in library mva, to get the distance between each pair of rows. From this calculate an incidence matrix for which element i,j is true if row i in dat equals row j in dat (and false elsewhere). In the second line, for each row calculate the indices of the matching rows and take the minimum of those as the key. incid <-

Hello, I am apparently confused about the use of an id parameter for an event history/survival model, and why the EHA documentation for aftreg does not specify one. All assistance and insights are appreciated. Attempting to specifiy an id variable with the documentation example generates an "overlapping intervals" error, so I sorted the original mort dataframe and set subsequent entry

I am unsure what is being returned, and what is supposed to be returned, when using 'predict' with "type='expected'" for an aftreg survival model. The code below first generates a weibull model, then uses predict to create a vector of the linear predictors, then attempts to create the 'expected' vector, which is empty. The final two steps in the code generate a

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
