similar to: Problem with tick marks in lines.survfit (package survival)

I posted several months about the problem with adding tick marks to curves using lines.survfit. This occurs when lines.survfit is used to add a curve to survival curves plotted with plot.survfit. The help for this function implies that mark.time=TRUE thus: plot(pfsfit,conf.int=FALSE,xscale=365.25,yscale=100,xlab="Years",ylab="% surviving",lty=2,mark=3)

I am sorry that this is another novice question. I am having trouble using "legend" with the survival curve plot from the survival package, and I wonder if it is because I have rescaled my plot. Here is the relevant segment of code: > plot(survfit(Surv(OS,Status)~shortishcr1),main='Overall Survival by factor', + xlab='Years',ylab='%

Hi Dear R-users I have a database with 18000 observations and 20 variables. I am running cox regression on five variables and trying to use survfit to plot the survival based on a specific variable without success. Lets say I have the following coxph: >library(survival) >fit <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age + rx, data = ovarian) >fit what I am trying to do is plot a survival

R 2.8.1 Windows XP I am trying to plot the results of a coxph using plot(survfit()). The plot should, I believe, show two lines one for survival in each of two treatment (Drug) groups, however my plot shows only one line. What am I doing wrong? My code is reproduced below, my figure is attached to this EMail message. John > #Create simple survival object >

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)

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

Dear all, I am confused with the output of survfit.coxph. Someone said that the survival given by summary(survfit.coxph) is the baseline survival S_0, but some said that is the survival S=S_0^exp{beta*x}. Which one is correct? By the way, if I use "newdata=" in the survfit, does that mean the survival is estimated by the value of covariates in the new data frame? Thank you very much!

Hello, I am trying to compute the mdeian of the survival time from the function survfit: > fit <- survfit(Surv(time, status) ~ 1) > fit Call: survfit(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ 1) records n.max n.start events median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL 111 111 111 20 NA NA NA The results is NA? the fit$surv gives values between 1 and 0.749! Am I doing this correct?

> Further I appreciate your new function survmean(). At the moment it > seems to be intended as internal, and not documented in the help. The computations done by print.survfit are now a part of the results returned by summary.survfit. See 'table' in the output list of ?summary.survfit. Both call an internal survmean() function to ensure that any future updates stay in

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, Maybe it is a silly question. But I wasn't able to find it from manual or R site search. I was wondering what is the corresponding time axis for survival function outputs in "survfit". I think it is "survfit(.......)$time", but not 100% sure. If it is, is it possible we could make survival function outputs on the pre-specified time grid with fixed increment and

Hello, I'm using plot.survfit to plot cumulative incidence of an event. Essentially, my code boils down to: cox <-coxph(Surv(EVINF,STATUS) ~ strata(TREAT) + covariates, data=dat) surv <- survfit(cox) plot(surv,mark.time=F,fun="event") Follow-up time extends to 54 weeks, but the last event occurs at week 30, and no more people are censored in between. Is there a

Hello everybody, does anybody know how the function plot.survfit exactly works? I'd like to plot the log of the cummulative hazard against the log time by using plot.survfit(...fun="cloglog") which does not work correctly. The scales are wrong and there is an error message about infinit numbers. It must have something to do with the censored data, doesn't it? #Example:

I am using the coxph, survfit and summary.survfit functions to calculate an estimate of predicted survival with confidence interval for future patients based on the survival distribution of an existing cohort of subjects. I am trying to understand the calculation and interpretation of the std.err and confidence intervals printed by the summary.survfit function. Using the default confidence

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'm trying to estimate a Cox proportional hazard model with time-varying covariates using coxph. The parameter estimates are fine but there is something wrong with the survival curves I get with survfit (results are not plausible). Let me explain why I think something's wrong. To make sure I'm setting up my data correctly to estimate a model with time-varying covariates, I

Dear all, I am confused with the behaviour of survfit with newdata option. I am using the latest version R-2-15-0. In the simple example below I am building a coxph model on 90 patients and trying to predict 10 patients. Unfortunately the survival curve at the end is for 90 patients. Could somebody please from the survival package confirm that this behaviour is as expected or not - because I

For adjusted survival curves I took the sample code from here: https://rpubs.com/daspringate/survival and adapted for my date, but got error. I would like to understand what is my mistake.

The answer to this may be obvious, but I was wondering in the rms package and the survfit(), how you can plot the censored time points as ticks. Take for example, library(survival) library(rms) foo <- data.frame(Time=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,10), Status=c(1,1,0,0,1,1,1)) answer <- survfit(Surv(foo$Time, foo$Status==1) ~1) # this shows the censored time points as ticks at Time = 3 and 4 plot(answer)
