Hi, Is it normal to get intercept in the list of covariates in the output of survreg function with standard error, z, p.value etc? Does it mean that intercept was fitted with the covariates? Does Value column represent coefficients or some thing else? Regards, ------------------------------------------------- tmp = survreg(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ ecog.ps + rx, ovarian,

Hi,Just a quick one, does anyone know the command for accessing the standard errors from a survreg object? I can access the coefficients by model$coefficients, but I cant seem to find a command to access the errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards,Andre [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All: I have some questions about the output of coxph. Below is the input and output: ---------------------------------------- > coxph(formula = Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age + rx + ecog.ps, data = + ovarian, x = TRUE) Call: coxph(formula = Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age + rx + ecog.ps, data = ovarian, x = TRUE) coef exp(coef) se(coef) z p age 0.147 1.158

Hi I am trying to understand how to get the validate() function in Design to work with the subset option. I tried this: ovarian.cph=cph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age+factor(ecog.ps)+strat(rx), time.inc=1000, x=T, y=T, data=ovarian) validate(ovarian.cph) #fine when no subset is used, but the following two don't work: > validate(ovarian.cph, subset=ovarian$ecog.ps==2) Error in

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

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)

It seems to me that R returns the unpenalized log-likelihood for the ratio likelihood test when ridge regression Cox proportional model is implemented. Is this as expected? In the example below, if I am not mistaken, fit$loglik[2] is unpenalized log-likelihood for the final estimates of coefficients. I would expect to get the penalized log-likelihood. I would like to check if this is as expected.

Hello everyone, I tried to use coxph.detail() to get the hazard function. But a warning messge always returns to me, even in the example provided by its help document: > ?coxph.detail > fit <- coxph(Surv(futime,fustat) ~ age + rx + ecog.ps, ovarian, x=TRUE) > fitd <- coxph.detail(fit) Warning message: data length [37] is not a sub-multiple or multiple of the number of rows

Hello, I've had no luck finding an R package that has the ability to estimate a Tobit model allowing for heteroskedasticity (multiplicative, for example). Am I missing something in survReg? Is there another package that I'm unaware of? Is there an add-on package that will test for heteroskedasticity? Thanks for your help. Cheers, Alan Spearot -- Alan Spearot Department of Economics

I am wondering how to estimate the survival curve for a particular case(s) given a coxph model using this example code: #fit a cox proportional hazards model and plot the #predicted survival curve fit <- coxph( Surv(futime,fustat)~resid.ds+strata(rx)+ecog.ps+age,data=ovarian[1:23,]) z <- survfit(fit,newdata=ovarian[24:26,],individual=F) zs <- z$surv zt <-

Hello, i have this dataset http://www.umass.edu/statdata/statdata/data/pharynx.txt. the variables GRADE, T_STAGE anda N_STAGE are qualitative or quantitative variables??? i only have this simple doubt...! another example: why in the dataset ovarian (library survival) the variable ecog.ps: ECOG performance status (1 is better, see reference) it is consider quantitative? Thank's for

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 have interval censored data, censored between (0, 100). I used the tobit function in the AER package which in turn backs on survreg. Actually I'm struggling with the distribution. Data is asymmetrically distributed, so first choice would be a Weibull distribution. Unfortunately the Weibull doesn't allow for zero values in time data, as it requires x > 0. So I tried the

Hello everybody. First of all, I would like to present myself. I'm a french student in public health and I like statistics though I'm not that good in mathematics (but I try to catch up). I've discovered R recently while trying to find a statistical program in order to avoid rebooting my computer under windows when I need to do some statistical work. And here is my first question.

Hello, I am having some trouble with the 'censoring-adjusted C-index' by Uno et al, in the package survAUC. The relevant function is UnoC. The question has to do with what happens when I specify a time point t for the upper limit of the time range under consideration (we want to avoid using the right-end tail of the KM curve). Copying from the example in the help file: TR <-

Hi, I am trying to get the maximum likelihood estimator for lognormal distribution with censored data;when we have left, interval and right censord. I built my code in R, by writing the deriving of log likelihood function and using newton raphson method but my estimators were too high " overestimation", where the values exceed the 1000 in some runing of my code. is there any one can

Hi , I am trying to get some estimator based on lognormal distribution when we have left,interval, and right censored data. Since, there is now avalible pakage in R can help me in this, I had to write my own code using Newton Raphson method which requires first and second derivative of log likelihood but my problem after runing the code is the estimators were too high. with this email ,I provide

It seems to me that summary for ridge coxph() prints summary but returns NULL. It is not a big issue because one can calculate statistics directly from a coxph.object. However, for some reason the score test is not calculated for ridge coxph(), i.e score nor rscore components are not included in the coxph object when ridge is specified. Please find the code below. I use 2.9.2 R with 2.35-4 version

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

in R when carring out the log rank test is the censored variable denoted by 1 or 0 or its of no consequence. thanks --------------------------------- always stay connected to friends. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
