Hello all I would like to visualize the hazard ratios of a cox proportional hazards model. I have seen some good examples in the New England Journal of Medicine: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/353/26/2747/F3 http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/350/26/2654/F2 (I hope these are open access, but I am not sure) And something similar in the book 'R Graphics' by Paul

Hi useRs, Many studies of the link between red meat and colorectal cancer use Cox proportional hazards with (among other things) a gender covariate. If it is true that men eat more red meat, drink more alcohol and smoke more than women, and if it is also true that alcohol and tobacco are known risk factors then why does it make sense to "adjust" for gender? I would think that in this

Hello, I need to implement variable selection procedures (such as stepwise and backward selection) in Cox proportional hazards model, but can't seem to find an R or S-plus command for these procedures. I am aware that these can be done in SAS. I would appreciate help from anyone who knows how to implement these procedures in Cox models using S-plus or (preferably) R. Thanks! Regards,

Good afternoon, I am currently trying to do some work on survival analysis. - I hope to seek your advice re: 2 questions (1 general and 1 specific) (1) I'm trying to do a stratified Cox analysis and subsequently plot(survfit(object)). It seems to work for some strata, but not for others. I have tumor grade, which is a range of 1 - 4. When I divide this range of 1:4 into 2 groups, it

I know that mvrnorm from MASS (generously provided by Profs. Venables and Ripley) can be used to generate multivariable normal data that can be used in a linear regression with certain desired characteristics (e.g. a given mean for each variable as well as a given variance-covariance pattern). Is there any similar facility that can be used to generate data for (1) a logistic regression and (2) a

I would like to perform a permutation test for Cox proportional hazards regression model. I only find it for t-test and other tests (e.g. comparing two medians). Is there a way that I can perform a Cox PH model in R or SAS for the LR-test? I am doing the following B <- 1000; LRtestx <- rep(NA,B); Srv <- Surv(Time, Event); for(j in 1:B){ LRtestx[j] <-

Dear All, I am contemplating centering the covariates in my Cox model to reduce multicollinearity between the predictors and the interaction term and to render a more meaningful interpretation of the regression coefficient. Suppose I have two indicator variables, x1 and x2 which represent age categories (x1 is patients less than 16 while x2 is for patients older than 65). If I use the following

Hi. I used coxph(surv(start,end,event)~~event,data) to deal with interval censor data. Does anyone know similar samples using coxph(surv(start,end,event)~~event,data)? If you knows, can you tell me? I'll really appreciate it. Thank you very much R learner.

I am calculating cox propotional hazards models with the coxph function from the survival package. My data relates to failure of various types of endovascular interventions. I can successfully obtain the LR, Wald, and Score test p-values from the coxph.object, as well as the hazard ratio as follows: formula.obj = Surv(days, status) ~ type coxph.model = coxph(formula.obj, df) fit =

I'm getting unexpected results from the coxph function when using weights from counter-matching. For example, the following code produces a parameter estimate of -1.59 where I expect 0.63: d2 = structure(list(x = c(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1), wt = c(5, 42, 40, 4, 43, 4, 42, 4, 44, 5, 38, 4, 39, 4, 4, 37, 40, 4, 44, 5, 45, 5, 44, 5), riskset =

Dear list, I have data on insect survival in different cages; these have the following structure: deathtime status id cage S F G L S 1.5 1 1 C1 8 2 1 1 1 1.5 1 2 C1 8 2 1 1 1 11.5 1 3 C1 8 2 1 1 1 11.5 1 4 C1 8 2 1 1 1 There are 81 cages and

Hi, I'm new to R and using it for Cox survival analysis. Thanks to this great forum I learned how to compute the HR with its confidence interval. My question would be: Is there any way to get the p-value for a hazard ratio in addition to the confidence interval? Thanks, Thierry -- Thierry Panje Visiting Student Researcher Department of Psychology Stanford

All, I had a question about the JGR console and whether or not I can manipulate the location where line wrapping occurs. I have searched 'JGR' in the R listserve archives and attempted to find console manipulation on the JGR website to no avail and could use some direction. TIA, Bret As an example, the below output wraps every 4th value, leaving about 2/3 of the console empty. >

Dear List, Is there an automated way to use the survival package to generate survival rate estimates and their standard errors? To be clear, *not *the survivorship estimates (which are cumulative), but the survival *rate * estimates... Thank you in advance for any help. Best, Brian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello Everyone,   I'm learning how to perform various statistical analyses in R. I'm checking my understanding by replicating examples from my SAS books. Below is an attempt to replicate a Cox Proportional Hazards model with a time-varying covariate. I think I'm doing this correctly but am not completely sure. I would appreciate it if someone could double-check my results. In case

Buenas. Abajo pongo la salida de un modelo de cox , dónde he estratificado por una variable de país (Countryb) y por otra (Q6). Además hay interacción entre la variable mobilityPDurG2 (es una variable 0,1, y 0 es la categoría de referencia) país. La categoría de referencia para país es "united kingdom". Mi duda surge si quiero calcular el hazard ratio para los que tienen un 1

Hi, I am attempting to plot survival curves estimated by cox proportional hazards regression model. The formula for the model is this: F.cox.weight <- coxph(Surv(Lifespan, Status) ~ MS + Weight + Laid + MS:Laid + Weight:Laid, data = LongF) MS = Mating status (mated/virgin) Weight = adult female weight, continuous covariate Laid = number of eggs laid by each female, continuous covariate I

Hello everyone, I am a new user of R. Does anybody know how hazard ratios are extracted for each factor level in a stratified Cox proportional hazard regression model? I have a cancer data set where the variable ?differentiation? is a factor with three levels: poor, intermediate and good. I would like to extract the hazard ratio for each grade level and relate it to another prognostic factor.

Hi all, Is there an equivalent to predict(...,type="linear") of a Proportional hazard model for a Cox model instead? For example, the Figure 13.12 in MASS (p384) is produced by: (aids.ps <- survreg(Surv(survtime + 0.9, status) ~ state + T.categ + pspline(age, df=6), data = Aidsp)) zz <- predict(aids.ps, data.frame(state = factor(rep("NSW", 83), levels =
