I am using psm to model some parametric survival data, the data is for length of stay in an emergency department. There are several ways a patient's stay in the emergency department can end (discharge, admit, etc..) so I am looking at modeling the effects of several covariates on the various outcomes. Initially I am trying to fit a survival model for each type of outcome using the psm

Full_Name: Oleg Raisky Version: 1.8.1 OS: Windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (63.246.203.107) This is a completely fresh R install. I'm trying to use Design package. Every time I run the first example for psm() I'm getting an error <<couldn't find function "survreg.fit">>. However, survreg.fit does exists in the search path. Is there something I can do to fix

Does Surv in psm handle interval2 data? The argument list seems to indicate it does but I get an error. Thanks, Chris # code library('survival') left <- c(1, 3, 5, NA) right <-c(2, 3, NA, 4) Surv(left, right, type='interval2') survreg(Surv(left, right, type='interval2') ~ 1) library('rms') Surv(left, right, type='interval2') # error args(Surv)

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

Dear list, I'm facing the following problem : A cox model with my sex variable interacting with several continuous variables : cph(S~sex*(x1+x2+x3)) And I'd like to make a nomogram. I know it's a bit tricky and one mights argue that nomogram is not a good a choice... I could use the parameter interact=list(sex=("male","female"),x1=c(a,b,c))... but with rcs or pol

Dear R users: I tried to use val.surv to give an internal validation of survival prediction model. I used the sample sources. # Generate failure times from an exponential distribution set.seed(123) # so can reproduce results n <- 1000 age <- 50 + 12*rnorm(n) sex <- factor(sample(c('Male','Female'), n, rep=TRUE, prob=c(.6, .4))) cens <- 15*runif(n) h

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,

I have been attempting to use cph models to get better calibration of my models for which I had originally used logistic regression. I tried running with 40 repetitions and got an error. I then tried 500 repetitions (thinking that the NaNs in the output below might be caused by that choice) and then let my computer crunch for several hours and got only the same error message and

Dear list, dear Frank, I try to fit a Weibull survival regression model with package Design: sclear <- psm(sobj~V1+V2,dist="weibull") sobj is a one-dimensional survival object (no event indicators), V1 and V2 are factors. I get the following result: Parametric Survival Model: Weibull Distribution psm(formula = sobj ~ V1 + V2, dist = "weibull") Obs Events

Hi, in Design package, a plot of survival probability vs. a covariate can be generated by survplot() on a cph object using the folliowing code: n <- 1000 set.seed(731) age <- 50 + 12*rnorm(n) label(age) <- "Age" sex <- factor(sample(c('male','female'), n, TRUE)) cens <- 15*runif(n) h <- .02*exp(.04*(age-50)+.8*(sex=='Female')) dt <-

Hi, I am trying to fit a non-linear model for a parasite dataset. Initially, I tried log-transforming the data and conducting a 2-way ANCOVA, and found that the equal variance of populations and normality assumptions were violated. Gaba et al. (2005) suggests that the Weibull Distribution is best for highly aggregated parasite distributions, and performs better (lower type 1 and 2 error rates)

While sm4.6ll<-fit.mult.impute(Surv(agesi, si)~partner+ in.love+ pubty+ FPA+ strat(gender),fitter = cph, xtrans = dated.sexrisk2.i, data = dated.sexrisk2, x=T,y=T,surv=T, time.inc=16) runs perfectly using Hmisc, Design and mice under R11 run via Sciviews-K, with library(Design) library(mice) ds2d<-datadist(dated.sexrisk2) options(datadist="ds2d")

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

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:

Hi all, I am trying to run Weibull PH model in R. Assume in the data set I have x1 a continuous variable and x2 a categorical variable with two classes (0= sick and 1= healthy). I fit the model in the following way. Test=survreg(Surv(time,cens)~ x1+x2,dist="weibull") My questions are 1. Is it Weibull PH model or Weibull AFT model? Call: survreg(formula = Surv(time, delta) ~ x1

Hi, I would like to fit parametric survival models to time-to-event data that are left truncated. I have checked the help page for survreg and looked in the R-help archive, and it appears that the R function survreg from the survival library (version 2.16) should allow me to take account of left truncation. However, when I try the command

Hi I have been asked to provide Weibull parameters from a paper using Kaplan Meir survival analysis. This is something I am not familiar with. The survival analysis in R works nicely and is the same as commercial software (only the graphs are superior in R). The Weibull does not and produces an error (see below). Any ideas why this error should occur? My approach may be spurious.

Hi everybody. I'm trying to fit a weibull survival model with a spline basis for the predictor, using the survival library. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to be possible to use the aic method to choose the degrees of freedom for the spline basis in a parametric regression (although it's fine with the cox model, or if the degrees of freedom are specified directly by the user),

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

The rms package, a replacement for the Design package, has been updated on CRAN. The most major change is the addition of smooth calibration curves for externally (val.surv function) or internally (calibrate.cph, calibrate.psm) validating a survival model with right-censored data. The polspline package is used to estimate the survival probability at a fixed time point as a function of the
