The data set in R is wrong. I've found mistakes on 2 lines in a quick look. I don't know if the data is incorrect in the Appendix of Fleming and Harrington as well (someone seems to have borrowed my copy), which is where the data set appears to have been taken from, given all the "-9" codes in it. (Note, Tom Fleming originally got the data from me, so I'm fairly

Hi, I'm reading van Belle et al "Biostatistics" and trying to run a cox test using a dataset from: http://faculty.washington.edu/~heagerty/Books/Biostatistics/chapter16.html (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis data link at top of the page), I'm using the following code: --------------- start of code library(survival) liver <-

Hello, I probably have a syntax error in trying to generate an expected survival curve from a weighted cox model, but I can't see it. I used the help sample code to generate a weighted model, with the addition of a "weights=albumin" argument (I only chose albumin because it had no missing values, not because of any real relevance). Below are my code with the resulting error

Hi, When I run the following Cox proportional hazards model on the Mayo clinic's PBC data set (given in the "survival" package), the regression coefficients do not agree with the results presented in Table 4.6.3 (p. 195) of Fleming & Harrington's book. library(survival) data(pbc) ans.cox <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ log(bili) + log(alb) + age + log(protime) +

Hi there, Can anyone please help me because I am going to get crazy with the pbc data set. I just want to apply simple cox regression in the data set. I am a beginner in R but I don't think I am doing anything wrong. I have the book of Fleming and Harrington 1990. I perform cox regression by typing: out<- coxph(Surv(times/365,status)~log(bili)+log(proth)+edema+log(albumin)+age) out

Hello, I'm attempting to use the ratetable argument to survexp in the survival package. I use the example from the ?survexp help page below, and then slightly modify it to produce an error. library(survival) data(pbc) #fit a model without any factors pfit1 <- coxph(Surv(time, status > 0) ~ trt + log(bili) + log(protime) + age + platelet, data=pbc) #this works as expected

Dear All, I'm trying to teach myself latex along with the latex function in Hmisc and have hit a roadblock that I can't seem to get around. I'd greatly appreciate any pointers. I'm running R 2.6.0 on Windows XP and have Miktex 2.7 installed. I've reproduced the code below, taken from Frank Harrell's latexsummary introduction. My question relates to getting a pdf

I ran across this by accident when working up an example. It uses a data set from the survival package, but nothing else from there. Fails on the Intel machine shown below, and on a virtual linux instance on a newer Mac.

I have the following questions about the variance of the random effects in the survreg() function in the survival package: 1) How can I extract the variance of the random effects after fitting a model? For example: set.seed(1007) x <- runif(100) m <- rnorm(10, mean = 1, sd =2) mu <- rep(m, rep(10,10)) test1 <- data.frame(Time = qsurvreg(x, mean = mu, scale= 0.5, distribution =

Dear All, I have analysed time to event data for continuous variables by considering the multivariable fractional polynomial (MFP) model and comparing this to the untransformed and log transformed model to determine which transformation, if any, is best. This was possible as the Cox model was the underlying model. However, I am now at the situation where the assumption that the competing risks

Dear List, How do I extract the approximate Wald test for the frailty (in the following example 17.89 value)? What about the P-values, other Chisq, DF, se(coef) and se2? How can they be extracted? ######################################################> kfitm1 Call: coxph(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ age + sex + disease + frailty(id, dist = "gauss"), data = kidney)

Dear R-users, I need to use the aftreg function in package 'eha' to estimate failure times for left truncated survival data. Apparently, survreg still cannot fit such models. Both functions should be fitting the accelerated failure time (Weibull) model. However, as G?ran Brostr?m points out in the help file for aftreg, the parameterisation is different giving rise to different

Dear Sir, I am doing some work on a population of patients. About half of them are admitted into hospital with albumin levels less than 33. The other half have albumin levels greater than 33, so I stratify them into 2 groups, x and y respectively. I suspect that the average length of stay in hospital for the group of patients (x) with albumin levels less than 33 is greater than those

I apologize for posting on this question again, but unfortunately, I don't have and can't get access to MASS for at least three weeks. I have found some code on the web however which implements the prediction error algorithm in cv.glm. http://www.bioconductor.org/workshops/NGFN03/modelsel-exercise.pdf Now I've tried to adapt it to my purposes, but since I'm not deeply familiar

Hi,   I have a system in which I analyze 2 subjects and 1 variable, so I have 2 models as follow:   y ~ x_1[, 1] + x_2[, 1] + x_1[, 2] + x_2[, 2]   Where   x_1[, i] = cos(2 * pi * t / T_i) x_2[, i] = sin(2 * pi * t / T_i)   i = 1, 2   Data have two columns: t and y.   As you can see, I have a multiple components model, with rithm and without trends, and I have a fundamental

# Dear list, # I am an R-beginner and # spent the last days looking for a method to insert tables produced # with R into a word document.

Does someone know the rules by which 'coxph' returns 'frail', the predicted frailty terms? In my test function: ----------------------------------------------- fr <- function(){ #testing(frailty terms in 'survival' require(survival) dat <- data.frame(exit = 1:6, event = rep(1, 6), x = rep(c(0, 1), 3),

Hello, I wonder when I do coxph in R: coxph( Surv(start, stop, event) ~ x, data=test) If x is a categorical varible (1,2,3,4,5), should I creat four dummy varibles for it? if yes, how can I get the overall p value on x other than for each dummy variable?
