similar to: confidence interval for survfit

Hi, I am wondering how the confidence interval for Kaplan-Meier estimator is calculated by survfit(). For example,  > summary(survfit(Surv(time,status)~1,data),times=10) Call: survfit(formula = Surv(rtime10, rstat10) ~ 1, data = mgi)  time n.risk n.event survival std.err lower 95% CI upper 95% CI    10    168      55    0.761  0.0282        0.707        0.818 I am trying to reproduce the

I am using the coxph, survfit and summary.survfit functions to calculate an estimate of predicted survival with confidence interval for future patients based on the survival distribution of an existing cohort of subjects. I am trying to understand the calculation and interpretation of the std.err and confidence intervals printed by the summary.survfit function. Using the default confidence

I wonder if anyone know why survest (a function in Design package) and standard survfit.coxph (survival) returned different confidence intervals on survival probability estimation (say 5 year). I am trying to estimate the 5-year survival probability on a continuous predictor (e.g. Age in this case). Here is what I did based on an example in "help cph". The 95% confidence intervals

Hello: In the example below (or for a censored data) using survfit.coxph, can anyone point me to a link or a pdf as to how the probabilities appearing in bold under "summary(pred$surv)" are calculated? Do these represent acumulative probability distribution in time (not including censored time)? Thanks very much, parmee *fit <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age, data = ovarian)*

Terry, I recently noticed the censor argument of survfit. For some analyses it greatly reduces the size of the resulting object, which is a nice feature. However, when combined with the id argument, only 1 prediction is made. Predictions can be made individually but I'd prefer to do them all at once if that change can be made.

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 all, I'm having difficulty getting access to data generated by survfit and print.survfit when they are using with a Cox model (survfit.coxph). I would like to programmatically access the median survival time for each strata together with the 95% confidence interval. I can get it on screen, but can't get to it algorithmically. I found myself examining the source of print.survfit to

Hi! I came across R just a few days ago since I was looking for a toolbox for cox-regression. I?ve read "Cox Proportional-Hazards Regression for Survival Data Appendix to An R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied Regression" from John Fox. As described therein plotting survival-functions works well (plot(survfit(model))). But I?d like to do some manipulation with the survival-functions

Hello, I'm trying to estimate a Cox proportional hazard model with time-varying covariates using coxph. The parameter estimates are fine but there is something wrong with the survival curves I get with survfit (results are not plausible). Let me explain why I think something's wrong. To make sure I'm setting up my data correctly to estimate a model with time-varying covariates, I

I've a data set with 60000 rows of data representing 6000+ distinct loans. I did a coxph() regression on it (see call below), but a subsequent survfit() call on the coxph object is almost certainly wrong. It gives n=6 when it should be more like 6000+ (I think) > survfit(resultag) Call: survfit.coxph(object = resultag) n events median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL 6 489 Inf

Full_Name: Jerome Asselin Version: 1.6.0 OS: RedHat 7.2 Submission from: (NULL) (24.83.203.63) Hello, I am trying to draw a legend on top of survival curves using plot.survfit(). As in the example below, I would like to specify a large interval for the x-axis. I can achieve such result using "xlim". However, an error occurs if I use the legend.pos and legend.text parameters as well.

Hello, I create a plot from a coxph object called fit.ads4: plot(survfit(fit.ads4)) plot is located at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jswrzid7mp1u62/survfit%20plot.png I also create the following survfit statistics: > print(survfit(fit.ads4),print.rmean=T) Call: survfit(formula = fit.ads4) records n.max n.start events *rmean *se(rmean) median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL 203.0

Hi everyone, I am not new to R, but new to running survival models in R. I am trying to create some basic KM curves, using the following code: library(survival) library(KMsurv) (import data etc - basic right censored, with continuously observed time of death) sleepfit <- survfit(Surv(timeb, death), data = sleep) Here timeb is measured is survival in years, death is a 1/0 indicator (1 =

For a fitted Cox model, one can either produce the predicted survival curve for a particular "hypothetical" subject (survfit), or the predicted curve for a particular cohort of subjects (survexp). See chapter 10 of Therneau and Grambsch for a long discussion of the differences between these, and the various pitfalls. By default, survfit produces the curve for a hypothetical

> Further I appreciate your new function survmean(). At the moment it > seems to be intended as internal, and not documented in the help. The computations done by print.survfit are now a part of the results returned by summary.survfit. See 'table' in the output list of ?summary.survfit. Both call an internal survmean() function to ensure that any future updates stay in

Hi, When I run the survfit function, I want to get the restricted mean value and the standard error also. I found out using the "print" function to do so, as shown below, print(km.fit,print.rmean=TRUE) Call: survfit(formula = Surv(diff, status) ~ 1, type = "kaplan-meier") records n.max n.start events *rmean *se(rmean) median 200.000

Hello R helpers: *My first message didn't pass trough filter so here it's again* I would like to obtain probability of an event for one single patient as a function of time (from survfit.coxph) object, as I want to find what is the probability of an event say at 1 month and what is the probability of an event at 80 months and compare. So I tried the following but it fails miserably. I

When I try to the code from library(survival) of library(ISwR), the following code survfit(Surv(days,status==1)) that could produce Kaplan-Meier estimates shows the following error "Error in survfit(Surv(days, status == 1)) : Survfit requires a formula or a coxph fit as the first argument" How it can be done in R.2.10 -- View this message in context:

Dear r-helpers, This is my first time to run survival analysis. Currently, I have a data set which contains two variables, the variable of time to event (or time to censoring) and the variable of censor indicator. For the indicator variable, it was coded as 0 and 1. 0 represents right censor, 1 means event of interest. Now I try to use "survfit" in the package of "survival". I
