The data set in R is wrong. I've found mistakes on 2 lines in a quick look. I don't know if the data is incorrect in the Appendix of Fleming and Harrington as well (someone seems to have borrowed my copy), which is where the data set appears to have been taken from, given all the "-9" codes in it. (Note, Tom Fleming originally got the data from me, so I'm fairly

Hi, When I run the following Cox proportional hazards model on the Mayo clinic's PBC data set (given in the "survival" package), the regression coefficients do not agree with the results presented in Table 4.6.3 (p. 195) of Fleming & Harrington's book. library(survival) data(pbc) ans.cox <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ log(bili) + log(alb) + age + log(protime) +

Hi: I have a few clarification questions about the elements returned by the coxph function used in conjuction with a frailty term. I create the following group variable: group <- NULL group[id<50] <- 1 group[id>=50 & id<100] <- 2 group[id>=100 & id<150] <- 3 group[id>=150 & id<200] <- 4 group[id>=200 & id<250] <- 5 group[id>=250

Hi, I'm reading van Belle et al "Biostatistics" and trying to run a cox test using a dataset from: http://faculty.washington.edu/~heagerty/Books/Biostatistics/chapter16.html (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis data link at top of the page), I'm using the following code: --------------- start of code library(survival) liver <-

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'm trying to teach myself latex along with the latex function in Hmisc and have hit a roadblock that I can't seem to get around. I'd greatly appreciate any pointers. I'm running R 2.6.0 on Windows XP and have Miktex 2.7 installed. I've reproduced the code below, taken from Frank Harrell's latexsummary introduction. My question relates to getting a pdf

Dear R-users: I can not reproduce figure 4 of *Statistical Tables and Plots using S and LATEX* by Prof. Frank Harrell with the following code: rm(list=ls()) library(Hmisc) getHdata(pbc) attach(pbc) age.groups <- cut2(age, c(45,60)) g <- function(y) apply(y, 2, quantile, c(.25,.5,.75)) y <- with(pbc, cbind(Chol=chol,Bili=bili)) # You can give new column names that are not legal S names

Hello, I'm attempting to use the ratetable argument to survexp in the survival package. I use the example from the ?survexp help page below, and then slightly modify it to produce an error. library(survival) data(pbc) #fit a model without any factors pfit1 <- coxph(Surv(time, status > 0) ~ trt + log(bili) + log(protime) + age + platelet, data=pbc) #this works as expected

Hi - I am fitting various Cox PH models with spline predictors. After fitting the model, I would like to use termplot() to examine the functional form of the fitted model (e.g., to obtain a plot of the relative risk (or log r.r.) versus the predictors). When there is only 1 predictor in the model, termplot returns a "?". In this case, I have not been able to figure out how to create

Dear Sir, I am doing some work on a population of patients. About half of them are admitted into hospital with albumin levels less than 33. The other half have albumin levels greater than 33, so I stratify them into 2 groups, x and y respectively. I suspect that the average length of stay in hospital for the group of patients (x) with albumin levels less than 33 is greater than those

Hello, I wonder when I do coxph in R: coxph( Surv(start, stop, event) ~ x, data=test) If x is a categorical varible (1,2,3,4,5), should I creat four dummy varibles for it? if yes, how can I get the overall p value on x other than for each dummy variable?

My laboratory is measuring the abundance of various proteins in the blood from either healthy individuals or from individuals with various diseases. I would like to determine which proteins, if any, have significantly different abundances between the healthy and diseased individuals. Currently, one of my colleagues is performing an ANOVA on each protein with MS Excel. I would like to analyze

Hi there, I have a rather large data set and perform the following cox model: test1 <- list(tstart,tstop,death1,chemo1,radio1,horm1) out1<-coxph( Surv(tstart,tstop, death1) ~ chemo1+chemo1:log(tstop+1)+horm1+horm1:log(tstop+1)+age1+grade1+grade1:log(tstop+1)+positive1+positive1:log(tstop+1)+size1+size1:log(tstop+1), test1) out1 Up to here everything works fine (with each covariate

  Hi there,   I am pretty new to R. Actually I started using it yesterday. I have two questions:   1.   Suppose I have a<-c(1:10)  (or a<-array(c(1:10),dim=c(1,10)))   and I want to end up with vector b=[0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1]. i.e. I want to substitute alla elements that are <5 with 0 and >5 with 1.   I did this by using a for loop. Is there another function to use so as to avoid the

  Hi there,   I am beginner in R and I have some basic question. Suppose I run a common procedure such as a t test or cox model like below:   out<-coxph( Surv(tstart,tstop, death1) ~ x1+x1:log(tstop+1) , test1,method=c("breslow"))    Which yields the following result:   Call: coxph(formula = Surv(tstart, tstop, death1) ~ x1 + x1:log(tstop +     1), data = test1, method =

Hello. I have run the command imp<-mice(mydata, im=c("","pmm","logreg","logreg"),m=5)  for a variable with no missing data, a numeric one and two variables with binary data.

Hi there, I perform a stratified cox and then I need the strata as a  numeric array "straft.ln" ft.ln <- coxph(Surv(times,deaths)~ages+chemos+chemos:f1+chemos:f2+horms+horms:f1+horms:f2+grades+grades:f1+grades:f2+positives+positives:f1+positives:f2+sizes+sizes:f1+sizes:f2+strata(stra),data=ddd) basehazzft.ln=basehaz(ft.ln,centered=FALSE) H0ft.ln=c(basehazzft.ln[,1])

Hello, I am trying to find an R function to compute 'direct adjusted survival' with standard errors. A SAS-macro to do this is presented in Zhang X, Loberiza FR, Klein JP, Zhang MJ. A SAS macro for estimation of direct adjusted survival curves based on a stratified Cox regression model. Comput Methods Programs Biomed 2007;88:95-101. It appears that this method is not implemented in R.

# Dear list, # I am an R-beginner and # spent the last days looking for a method to insert tables produced # with R into a word document.
