I was looking at how the model.frame method for lm works and comparing it to my own for coxph. The big difference is that I try to retain xlevels and predvars information for a new model frame, and lm does not. I use a call to model.frame in predict.coxph, which is why I went that route, but never noted the difference till now (preparing for my course in Nashville). Could someone shed light

First, here is your message as it appears on R-help.

I?m trying to set up proportional hazard model that is stratified with respect to covariate 1 and has an interaction between covariate 1 and another variable, covariate 2. Both variables are categorical. In the following, I try to illustrate the two problems that I?ve encountered, using the lung dataset. The first problem is the warning: To me, it seems that there are too many dummies

I've been tracking down a survival problem from R-help today. A short version of the primary issue is reconstructed by the following simple example: library(survival) attach(lung) fit <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ log(age)) predict(fit, newdata=data.frame(abe=45)) Note the typo in the last line of "abe" instead of "age". Instead of an error message, this returns

Dear R users, My apologies for the simple question, as I'm starting to learn the concepts behind the Cox PH model. I was just experimenting with the survival and rms packages for this. I'm simply trying to obtain the expected survival time (as opposed to the probability of survival at a given time t). I can't seem to find an option from the "type" argument in the predict

I've narrowed my scope problems with predict.coxph further. Here is a condensed example: fcall3 <- as.formula("time ~ age") dfun3 <- function(dcall) { fit <- lm(dcall, data=lung, model=FALSE) model.frame(fit) } dfun3(fcall3) The final call fails: it can't find 'dcall'. The relevant code in model.frame.lm is: env <- environment(formula$terms)

Dear R users, Please can you help me with a relatively straightforward problem that I am struggling with? I am simply trying to plot a baseline survivor and hazard function for a simple data set of lung cancer survival where `futime' is follow up time in months and status is 1=dead and 0=alive. Using the survival package: lung.wbs <- survreg( Surv(futime, status)~ 1, data=lung,

Dear all - I have followed the thread the reply to which was lead by Thomas Lumley about using pweibull to generate fitted survival curves for survreg models. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/11/7766.html Using the lung data set, data(lung) lung.wbs <- survreg( Surv(time, status)~ 1, data=lung, dist='weibull') curve(pweibull(x, scale=exp(coef(lung.wbs)),

Hi, I'm sure this should be simple but I can't figure it out! I want to get the median survival calculated by the survfit function and use the value rather than just be able to print it. Something like this: library(survival) data(lung) lung.byPS = survfit(Surv (time, status) ~ ph.ecog, data=lung) # lung.byPS Call: survfit(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ ph.ecog, data = lung) 1

I found an issue with the data() command this evening when working on the survival package. 1. I have a lot of data sets in the package, almost all used in at least one vignette, help file, or test.? As a space saving measure, I have bundled many of them together, i.e., the file data/cancer.rda contains 19 data sets, many of them small. The resulting file (using xz compression) is quite a bit

R Folk: Please forgive what I'm sure is a fairly na?ve question; I hope it's clear. A colleague and I have been doing a really simple one-off survival analysis, but this is an area with which we are not very familiar, we just happen to have gathered some data that needs this type of analysis. We've done quite a bit of reading, but answers escape us, even though the question below

Hi everybody, this is a real dummy thing. I sorted a matrix based on a given column, and what I get is right, until it comes to columns of negative and positive values; than, "order" orders everything from max to min in the negative values, and then AGAIN from max to min in the positive values!!! Why isn't everything order from max to min, and that's it? Thank you!!! Attached

Hi, I've lost my mind on it... I have to scatterplot two vectors, grouped by a third variable, with two different dimensions according to whether each cell line in the plot is sensitive or resistant to a given drug, and with a different color for each of 9 tissues of origin. Here's what I've done:

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

Dear List, Must be a silly question, but I was wondering whether there is a direct way of calculating "standard error of a HR or exp(coef)" from coxph objects x <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ age + inst, lung)> x coef exp(coef) se(coef) z page 0.0190 1.02 0.00925 2.06 0.04inst -0.0104 0.99 0.01028 -1.01 0.31 cheers, Ehsan [[alternative HTML

Reading "Modern Applied Statististics with S" and trying the corresponding examples both in the book and in ../lib/R/library/MASS/script, I'm now trying chapter 4 plotting bars with the following code on a linux box with R 1.8.1: ---------------------- library(MASS) library(lattice) options(echo=T, width=65, digits=5) lung.deaths <- aggregate(ts.union(mdeaths, fdeaths), 1)

Hello, My question concerns model selection, stepAIC(), add1(), and coxph(). In Venables and Ripley (3rd Ed) pp389-390 there is an example of using stepAIC() for the automated selection of a coxph model for VA lung cancer data. A statistics question: Can partial likelihoods be interpreted in the same manner as likelihoods with respect to information based criterion and likelihood ratio tests?

I have a sample of lung capacities from a population measured against height. I need to know the 95% CI of the lung capacity of a person of average height. I have fitted a regression line. How do I get a minimum and maximum values of the 95% CI? My thinking was that this has something to do with covariance, but how? My other thinking was that I could derive the 0.975 (sqrt 0.95) CI for the

Hello, I have a maybe trivial question, but I simply don't understand well enought how to work with text/strings: I have a rather compelx data structure, a big list with several sub-lists/dataframes and for certain calculations (which I do in loops), I only need a certain group of sub-lists/dataframes, which I want to specify with a name vector and paste together the object name and pass it

The latest version of the survival package has two important additions. In prior code the call coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ age + strata(inst), data=lung) could fail if a version of either Surv() or strata() existed elsewhere on the search path; the wrong function could be picked up. Second, a model with survival::strata(inst) in the formula would not do what users expect. These
