similar to: as.matrix.Surv -- R core question/opinions

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" >

I am cleaning up the rms package to not export functions not to be called directly by users. rms uses generic functions defined in other packages. For example there is a latex method in the Hmisc package, and rms has a latex method for objects of class "anova.rms" so there are anova.rms and latex.anova.rms functions in rms. I use:

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

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

Dear R-user: I am using survreg(Surv()) for fitting a Tobit model of left-censored longitudinal data. For logarithmic transformation of y data, I am trying use survreg.distributions in the following way: tfit=survreg(Surv(y, y>=-5, type="left")~x + cluster(id), dist="gaussian", data=y.data, scale=0, weights=w) my.gaussian<-survreg.distributions$gaussian

Can anybody give me a neat example of interval censored data analysis codes in R? Given that suvreg(Surv(c(1,1,NA,3),c(2,NA,2,3),type="interval2")~1) works why does survreg(Surv(data[,1],data[,2],type="interval2")~1) not work where data is : T.1 T.2 Status 1 0.0000000 0.62873036 1 2 0.0000000 2.07039068 1 3 0.0000000

Dear Prof. Therneau I was impressed to discover that the 'survConcordance' now handles Surv() objects in counting format (example below to clarify what I mean). This is not documented in the help page for the function. I am very curious to see how a c-index is estimated in this case, using just the linear predictors. It was my impression that with left truncation the ordering of

This works ok: > cox = coxph(surv ~ bucket*(today + accor + both) + activity, data = data) > fit = survfit(cox, newdata=data[1:100,]) but using strata leads to problems: > cox.s = coxph(surv ~ bucket*(today + accor + both) + strata(activity), > data = data) > fit.s = survfit(cox.s, newdata=data[1:100,]) Error in model.frame.default(data = data[1:100, ], formula = ~bucket + :

Hello, I have questions regarding penalized Cox regression using survival package (functions coxph() and ridge()). I am using R 2.8.0 on Ubuntu Linux and survival package version 2.35-4. Question 1. Consider the following example from help(ridge): > fit1 <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ rx + ridge(age, ecog.ps, theta=1), ovarian) As I understand, this builds a model in which `rx' is

Dear R-helpers, I am working with 'cph' models from 'rms' library. When I build simple survival models, based on 'Surv(time, event)', everything is fine and I can make nice plots using plot(Predict(f, time=3)). However, recently I tried to be more specific and used 'Surv(start, stop, event)' type model. Using this model 'plot(Predict(f))' works OK, but

I recently got a request to add head() and tail() methods for Surv objects, which is quite reasonable, but not unlike other requests for logLik,? vcov, extractAIC, ...?? What they all have in common is that are methods added since creation of the survival package, and that I didn't know they existed. To try and get ahead of the curve, is there a way to list names of all of the default

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

Does Surv in psm handle interval2 data? The argument list seems to indicate it does but I get an error. Thanks, Chris # code library('survival') left <- c(1, 3, 5, NA) right <-c(2, 3, NA, 4) Surv(left, right, type='interval2') survreg(Surv(left, right, type='interval2') ~ 1) library('rms') Surv(left, right, type='interval2') # error args(Surv)

The survival package makes significant use of the "specials" argument of terms(), before calling model.frame; it is part of nearly every modeling function. The reason is that strata argments simply have to be handled differently than other things on the right hand side. Likewise for tt() and cluster(), though those are much less frequent. I now get "bug reports" from the

When I run R CMD check on the survival package I invariably get a note: ... * checking for file ?survival/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * this is package ?survival? version ?3.2-6? * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE Maintainer: ?Terry M Therneau <therneau.terry at mayo.edu>? ... This is sufficient for the auto-check process to return the following failure message: Dear maintainer,

I recently had a long argument wrt the survival package, namely that the following code didn't do what they expected, and so they reported it as a bug ? survival::coxph( survival::Surv(time, status) ~ age + sex + survival::strata(inst), data=lung) a. The Google R style guide? recommends that one put :: everywhere b. This breaks the recognition of cluster as a "special" in the
