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 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 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

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

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)),

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

I have a debugging environment for the survival package, perhaps unique to me, but I find it works very well. To wit, a separate directory with copies of the source code but none of the package accuements of DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, etc. This separate space does NOT contain a copy of src/init.c Within this I use R --vanilla, attach my .RData file, survival.so file, and away we go. That is,

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

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

I had trouble with some tests for the survival suite last night that I cannot explain. Framework: Ubuntu Linux, R2.11. For testing survival I have a separate directory and Makefile. I pull everything into the local .RData, no packages, library, or namespace. (It's easier to add test modifications to a routine in a chain of calls). A test of survreg + psline would fail because

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

Calum had a long question about drawing survival curves after fitting a Weibull model, using pweibull, which I have not reproduced. It is easier to get survival curves using the predict function. Here is a simple example: > library(survival) > tfit <- survreg(Surv(time, status) ~ factor(ph.ecog), data=lung) > table(lung$ph.ecog) 0 1 2 3 <NA> 63 113 50 1

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

In the long run, coming up with a way to parse specials in formulas that is both clean and robust is a good idea - annoying users are a little bit like CRAN maintainers in this respect. I think I would probably do this by testing identical(eval(extracted_head), survival::Surv) - but this has lots of potential annoyances (what if extracted_head is a symbol that can't be found in any attached

Dear UseRs, Suppose I have data regarding smoking habits of a prospective cohort and wish to determine the risk ratio of colorectal cancer in the smokers compared to the non-smokers. What do I do at the end of the study with people who die of heart disease? Can I just censor them exactly the same as people who become uncontactable or who die in a plane crash? If not, why not? I'm thinking

The coxme package has a ranef() method, as does lme4. I'm having trouble getting them to play together, as shown below. (The particular model in the example isn't defensible, but uses a standard data set.) The problem is that most of the time only one of lme4 or coxme will be loaded, so each needs to define the basic ranef function as well as a method for it. But when loaded together

can you recommend a good manual for R that starts with a data set and gives demonstrations on what can be done using R? I downloadedR Langauage definition and An introduction to R but haven't found them overly useful. I'd really like to be able to follow some tutorials using a dataset or many datasets. The datasets I have available on R are Data sets in package 'datasets':

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

There are two ways to view weights. One is to treat them as case weights, i.e., a weight of 3 means that there were actually three identical observations in the primary data, which were collapsed to a single observation in the data frame to save space. This is the assumption of survfit. (Most readers of this list will be too young to remember when computer memory was so small that we had to
