similar to: understanding the output from survival analysis

R users, I am making model selection with an accelerated failure time model using the command survreg within the library survival. As I want to compare models with different probability distributions I need to have the full likelihood. How can I find out what survreg generates: the full likelihood or a likelihood with "unnecessary" constants dropped? Example I want to

Hi, In the package survival, using the function survreg for AFT model, I only see 4 distributions for the response y: weibull, gaussian, logistic, lognormal and log-logistic, which correspond to certain distributions for the error terms. I'm wondering if there is a package or how to obtain the parameter estimates (the beta's are of great interest) from the AFT model (maximizing

Dear R-Helpers, I am hoping to perform survival analyses using the "ex-Gaussian" distribution. I understand that the ex-Gaussian is a convolution of exponential and Gaussian distributions for survival data. I checked the "survreg.distributions" help and saw that it is possible to mix pre-defined distributions. Am I correct to think that the following code makes the

Full_Name: Tim Cohn Version: 1.6.1 OS: Macintosh OS X Submission from: (NULL) (130.11.34.250) The Mac version of survreg does not handle left-censored data correctly (at least the results are not what I get doing it other ways, and they are not the same as I get running R 1.6.1 in Windows 98se; the Windows 98 results are correct). On the windows version of R 1.6.1. >

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,

dear r experts: It seems my message got spam filtered, another try: i would appreciate advice on how to get the p-value from the object 'sr' created with the function survreg() as given below. vlad sr<-survreg(s~groups, dist="gaussian") Coefficients: (Intercept) groups -0.02138485 0.03868351 Scale= 0.01789372 Loglik(model)= 31.1 Loglik(intercept only)= 25.4

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,

Hi all. Belove is the example from the cluster-help page wtih the output. I simply cannot figure out how to relate the estimate and robust Std. Err to the p-value. I am aware this a marginal model applying the sandwich estimator using (here I guess) an emperical (unstructered/exchangeable?) ICC. Shouldent it be, at least to some extend, comparable to the robust z-test, for rx :

Hi experts, http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4034318/Parametric_survival_analysis_2nd-order_efffect.JPG Parametric_survival_analysis_2nd-order_efffect.JPG As we know a normal survival regression is the equation (1) Well, I'ld like to modify it to be 2nd-order interaction model as shown in equation(2) Question: Assume a and z is two covariates. x = dummy variable (1 or 0) z = factors

Dear R users! I want to process a maximum likelihood estimation for a parametric regression survival time model with multiple events per subject. the STATA command for this survival regression is: use survreg stset failure(exercise), id(optionid) local regressors itm posret negret streg `regressors', distribution(weibull) explanation: stset declares data to be survival-time data; exercise

Hi I'm trying to predict the values for a survreg object called loglogistic_na. Here is the definition of loglogistic_na and following that the syntax used for the predict function. But upon execution I don't get any output. Not sure what I'm doing wrong: loglogistic_na <- survreg(Surv(time_na,event_na) ~ t_na, dist="loglogistic") summary(loglogistic_na)

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 I am using R to fit a survival function to my data (with a weibull distribution). Data: Survival of individuals in relation to 4 treatments ('a','b','c','g') syntax: ---- > survreg(Surv(date2)~males2, dist='weibull') But I have some problems interpreting the outcome and getting the parameters for each curve. --------- Value Std.

Dear all, May I ask is there any functions in R to evaluate the fitness of "coxph" and "survreg" in survival analysis, please? For example, the results from Cox regression and Parametric survival analysis are shown below. Which method is prefered and how to see that / how to compare the methods? 1. coxph(formula = y ~ pspline(x1, df = 2))

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

Hello, Is there a function in the survival package that will allow me to test a subset of independent variables for joint significance? I am thinking along the lines of a Wald, likelihood ratio, or F-test. I am using the survreg procedure to estimate my parameters. Thank you.

Dear all, I'm trying to fit a curve to some 1 year failure-time data, so that I can extrapolate and predict failure rates up to 3 years. The data is in the general form: Treatment Time Status Treatment A 28 0 Treatment B 28 0 Treatment B 28 0 Treatment A 28

Good morning everyone (or maybe good evening) Is there a counterpart to the s-plus function "probplot" (which provides a qq-plot for "survreg"-objects)? Or do exist other (rather simple) possibilities to check the assumptions of the distribution? I have another question to the author(s) of summary.survreg: Why does summary(...,times=sort(x)) not give the same result as

Hi, I am trying to fit the following model: sr.reg.s4.nore <- survreg(Surv(age_sym4,sym4), as.factor(lifedxm), data=bip.surv) Where age_sym4 is the age that a subject develops clinical thought problems; sym4 is whether they develop clinical thoughts problems (0 or 1); and lifedxm is mother's diagnosis: BIPOLAR, MAJOR DEPRESSION, or CONTROL. I am interested in whether or not

Hi, I am trying to simulate a regression on survival data under a few conditions: 1. Under different error distributions 2. Have the error term be dependent on the covariates But I'm not sure how to specify either conditions. I am using the Design package to perform the survival analysis using the survreg, bj, coxph functions. Any help is greatly appreciated. This is what I have so far:
