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, We are happy to announce, after a long gestation, the release of the new version of FRAILTYPACK (version 2.2-9.5) which is now available from CRAN.

Dear R experts, How should lambda and gamma (with std.errors) be calculated for a weibull model with age as an independent predictor? I have assumed that this can be done with survreg with e. g. (summary(survreg(Surv(time, status) ~ age, dist = 'weibull')) ) and predict.survreg with e.g. (predict(model, se.fit = T, newdata = data.frame(age = seq(50, 80, 5)) but unfortunately I'm

Dear all, I am trying to find a suitable R-function for parametric proportional hazard regressions. The package survival contains the coxph() function which performs a Cox regression which leaves the base hazard unspecified, i.e. it is a semi-parametric method. The package Design contains the function pphsm() which is good for parametric proportional hazard regressions when the underlying base

Dear R Help group I need to run a command line script from within R session. I am not clear how i can acheive this. I tried shell and system function, but i am missing something critical.can someone provide help? My intention is to create a pdf file of a plot in R and then attach existing files from my system as attachment into the newly created pdf file. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

I was wondering if someone familiar with survival analysis can help me with the following. I would like to fit a Weibull curve, that may be dependent on a covariate, my dataframe "labdata" that has the fields "cov", "time", and "censor". Do I do the following? wieb<-survreg(Surv(labdata$time, labadata$censor)~labdata$cov,

Dear All, I would like to fit some parametric survival models using left truncated, right censored data in R. However I am having problems finding a function to fit parametric survival models which can handle left truncated data. I have tested both the survreg function in package survival: fit1 <- survreg(Surv(start, stop, status) ~ X + Y + Z, data=data1) and the psm function in package

Hi to all, I am working on design package using survival function. First using PSM and adopting a weibull specification for the baseline hazard , I have got the following results(since weibull has both PH and AFT propreties ,in addition I have used the PPHSm command): Value Std. Error z p (Intercept) 1.768 1.0007 1.77 7.73e-02 SIZE -0.707 0.0895 -7.90 2.80e-15

Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me interpret the results of running weibreg. I run the following and get the following R output. > weibreg(Surv(time, censor)~covar) fit$fail = 0 Call: weibreg(formula = Surv(time, censor)~covar) Covariate Mean Coef Rel.Risk L-R p Wald p covar 319.880 -0.002 0.998 0.000 log(scale) 0.000 8.239

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

I am cleaning up the rms package to not export functions not to be called directly by users. rms uses generic functions defined in other packages. For example there is a latex method in the Hmisc package, and rms has a latex method for objects of class "anova.rms" so there are anova.rms and latex.anova.rms functions in rms. I use:

We're involved in a project that the requirements could be satisfied with both samba3 and 4. Anyway I am testing what can be done with Samba4 and after following the tutorial published in the official wiki, I was able to create my test domain, and join WinXP and Win7 machines to it without a problem. I still need to test the GPO functionality, and some other stuff, but before continuing with

Dear, I want to analyze two-level survival data using a shared frailty model, for which I want to use the R package 'Frailtypack", proposed by Rondeau et al. The dataset was built using SAS software. I also tried to change the format using SPSS and Excell. My (reduced) dataset has following column names: ID entry time status family var1 I used following command: >

Dear wizaRds, I use the MASS::kde2d function to estimate density of the two first principal components. I do that to have a graphic visualisation of a "group structure" in my dataset. So far, no problem. But i would like to estimate that density using weights according to the COS?? values that tells me if my observation is well represented on the factorial plan 1-2. I would like to

Hey all, I am trying to use the survreg function in R to estimate the mean and standard deviation to come up with the MLE of alpha and lambda for the weibull distribution. I am doing the following: times<-c(10,13,18,19,23,30,36,38,54,56,59,75,93,97,104,107,107,107) censor<-c(1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,0) survreg(Surv(times,censor),dist='weibull') and I get the following

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,
