similar to: Why is transform="km" the default for cox.zph?

Hello, I got error message when applying the plot function to the cox.zph object to create the Schoenfeld residual plots. > plot(zph.revasFit[1]) Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : need finite 'ylim' values In addition: Warning messages: 1: NaNs produced in: sqrt(x$var[i, i] * seval) 2: no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf in: min(x) 3: no

Dear all, I use the Andersen plot to check for proportional hazards assumption for a factor (say x) in the Cox regression model and obtained a straight line that pass through the origin. However, the formal test done by the R-function cox.zph, which is based on the plot of Schonefeld residuals against time, indicates that proportional hazards assumption is violated. Further, a plot of the score

Dear R-users, I am sorry if this is obvious. I am testing the proportional hazard assumptions using cox.zph. If i am not wrong, a g(t) function must be assumed. Four possibilities available in R are "km","identity" and "rank". may i know what functions of time are these transformation assuming? Thanks a lot in advance for your wisdom. kind regards, sing yee ling

You report an error message: > plot(zph.revasFit[1]) Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : need finite 'ylim' values I have never seen this error before, and I cannot guess what causes it. You need to provide more information, and likely a small data set that produces the problem. Perhaps you have an x variable that is a constant? Terry Therneau

hi sorry if this has been discussed before, but I'm wondering why the scaled Schoenfeld residuals do not follow the defining formula for obtaining them from the ordinary Schoenfeld residuals, but are instead offset by the estimated parameter values. e.g. library(survival) attach(ovarian) sv<-Surv(futime,fustat) f1<-coxph(sv~age+ecog.ps) f1

I have one more conceptual question though, it would be fantastic if someone could graciously help out: I am using an accelerated failure time model with time-varying covariates because I assume that my independent variables have a different impact on the chance for a failure at different points in lifetime. For example: High temperature has a different impact on failure in earlier years

Dear All, Sorry to bother you again. I have a model: coxfita=coxph(Surv(rem.Remtime/365,rem.Rcens)~all.sex,data=nearma) and I'm trying to do a plot of Schoenfeld residuals using the code: plot(cox.zph(coxfita)) abline(h=0,lty=3) The error message I get is: Error in plot.window(...) : need finite 'ylim' values In addition: Warning messages: 1: In sqrt(x$var[i, i] * seval) : NaNs

Hello, Excuse me for a more methodological than technical question. I'm developing a Cox model with 10 covariates. One of them is age (named "eta"). I've checked proportionality with cox.zph with age continuous: > cox.zph(coxph(Surv(TTP,CENSOTTP)~eta)) rho chisq p eta -0.0154 0.0225 0.88 and categorical (eta<60): >

Dear all, I am struggling with calculation of Schoenfeld residuals of my Cox Ph models. Based on the formula as attached, I calculated the Schoenfeld residuals for both non tied and tied data, respectively. And then I validated my results with R using the same data sets. However, I found that my results for non-tied data was ok but the results for tied data were different from R's. How

Hi, I''ve used old ZPH patch under squid 2.4 Stable4 and it works great ! Now I want to patch squid 2.4 stable 5, with new patch, on http://www.it-academy.bg/zph/ I''ve patched and installed squid 2.5 stable 5 succefully, but I can''t get ZPH works.

Hi, I get a warning message when I plot cox.zph objects with the transform km and rank, but not with id and log with the same data set. Here's the command: example is a coxph object rk <- cox.zph(example, transform='rank') rk plot(rk) and here's the warning message: Warning messages: 1: suppression des ex-aequos de 'x' in: approx(xx, xtime, seq(min(xx), max(xx),

This is a question about the use of the Cox proportional hazards model to analyze event histories. I am looking at the responses of sympathetic nervous system activity to a stimulus. The activity I observe is a burst that can only occur once per heart beat cycle (e.g., a binary count). Typically bursts occur in 60-80% of the heart cycles * sensory stimuli can modify these burst probabilities.

Hi all, I am trying to detect association between a covariate and a disease outcome using R. This covariate shows time-varying effect, I add a time-covariate interaction item to build Cox model as follows: COX <- coxph(as.formula("Surv(TIME,outcome)~eGFR_BASE+eGFR_BASE:TIME"),ori.data); coef exp(coef) e(coef) z p eGFR_BASE

Dear List: I have a data frame prepared in the couting process style for including a binary time-dependent covariate. The first few rows look like this. PtNo Start End Status Imp 1 1 0 608.0 0 0 2 2 0 513.0 0 0 3 2 513 887.0 0 1 4 3 0 57.0 0 0 5 3 57 604.0 0 1 6 4 0 150.0 1 0 The outcome

What is the best way to report the standard error when publishing Kaplan-Meier plots? In my field (Vascular Surgery), practitioners loosely refer to the "10% error" cutoff as the point at which to stop drawing the KM curve. I am interpreting this as the *standard error of the cumulative hazard*, although I'm having a difficult time finding some guidelines about this (perhaps I am

Hi all, I was trying to test the assumption of proportional hazards assumption, I used the cox.zph function >cox.zph(coxfit6) Results are: rho chisq p x1 -0.0396 1.397 2.37e-01 x2 0.1107 9.715 1.83e-03 x3 -0.0885 7.743 5.39e-03 x4 0.0366 1.092 2.96e-01 x5 0.0242 0.455 5.00e-01 GLOBAL

I am using a syntax like coxph(Surv(start, stop, event) ~ X, data) to estimate the effect of X, which may change at each measurement (every 6 months). Is there anyone who knows a way to test the proportional hazard assumption in that case? Thank you in advance Jean-François Boudreau Sherbrooke University [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I downloaded R-Patched today (to see if another problem I want to ask about is still present or if its just me - as per the posting guide). I ran "tools/rsync-recommended" successfully. I then ran "configure --enable-R-shlib" successfully. Then make stops with the following error. gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib -o tools.so text.o init.o Rmd5.o md5.o -L../../../../lib -lR
