similar to: extending survival curves past the last event using plot.survfit

Hello R users I have a question with Kaplan-Meier Curve with respect to my research. We have done a retrospective study on fillings in the tooth and their survival in relation to the many influencing factors. We had a long follow-up time (upto 8yrs for some variables). However, we decided to stop the analysis at the 6year follow up time, so that we can have uniform follow-up time for all the

Hello, I'm trying to estimate a Cox proportional hazard model with time-varying covariates using coxph. The parameter estimates are fine but there is something wrong with the survival curves I get with survfit (results are not plausible). Let me explain why I think something's wrong. To make sure I'm setting up my data correctly to estimate a model with time-varying covariates, I

I am confused when trying the function survfit. my question is: what does the survival curve given by plot.survfit mean? is it the survival curve with different covariates at different points? or just the baseline survival curve? for example, I run the following code and get the survival curve #### library(survival) fit<-coxph(Surv(futime,fustat)~resid.ds+rx+ecog.ps,data=ovarian)

Hello, I create a plot from a coxph object called fit.ads4: plot(survfit(fit.ads4)) plot is located at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jswrzid7mp1u62/survfit%20plot.png I also create the following survfit statistics: > print(survfit(fit.ads4),print.rmean=T) Call: survfit(formula = fit.ads4) records n.max n.start events *rmean *se(rmean) median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL 203.0

I've a data set with 60000 rows of data representing 6000+ distinct loans. I did a coxph() regression on it (see call below), but a subsequent survfit() call on the coxph object is almost certainly wrong. It gives n=6 when it should be more like 6000+ (I think) > survfit(resultag) Call: survfit.coxph(object = resultag) n events median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL 6 489 Inf

Hello, I am trying to compute the mdeian of the survival time from the function survfit: > fit <- survfit(Surv(time, status) ~ 1) > fit Call: survfit(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ 1) records n.max n.start events median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL 111 111 111 20 NA NA NA The results is NA? the fit$surv gives values between 1 and 0.749! Am I doing this correct?

Hi, I am attempting to graph a Kaplan Meier estimate for some claims using the survfit function. However, I was wondering if it is possible to plot a cdf of the kaplan meier rather than the survival function. Here is some of my code: library(survival) Surv(claimj,censorj==0) survfit(Surv(claimj,censorj==0)~1) surv.all<-survfit(Surv(claimj,censorj==0)~1) summary(surv.all) plot(surv.all)

Hi everyone, I am not new to R, but new to running survival models in R. I am trying to create some basic KM curves, using the following code: library(survival) library(KMsurv) (import data etc - basic right censored, with continuously observed time of death) sleepfit <- survfit(Surv(timeb, death), data = sleep) Here timeb is measured is survival in years, death is a 1/0 indicator (1 =

When I try to the code from library(survival) of library(ISwR), the following code survfit(Surv(days,status==1)) that could produce Kaplan-Meier estimates shows the following error "Error in survfit(Surv(days, status == 1)) : Survfit requires a formula or a coxph fit as the first argument" How it can be done in R.2.10 -- View this message in context:

I have attempted to follow posting guidelines but I have failed to find out what I am doing wrong here. I am trying to use lines.survfit to plot a second curve onto a survival curve produced by plot.survfit. In my case this is to be a progression free survival curve superimposed upon an overall survival curve, but I will illustrate my problem using the example given in the help for

Dear all, I am confused with the output of survfit.coxph. Someone said that the survival given by summary(survfit.coxph) is the baseline survival S_0, but some said that is the survival S=S_0^exp{beta*x}. Which one is correct? By the way, if I use "newdata=" in the survfit, does that mean the survival is estimated by the value of covariates in the new data frame? Thank you very much!

Dear all, I'm having difficulty getting access to data generated by survfit and print.survfit when they are using with a Cox model (survfit.coxph). I would like to programmatically access the median survival time for each strata together with the 95% confidence interval. I can get it on screen, but can't get to it algorithmically. I found myself examining the source of print.survfit to

Hi, I'm sure this should be simple but I can't figure it out! I want to get the median survival calculated by the survfit function and use the value rather than just be able to print it. Something like this: library(survival) data(lung) lung.byPS = survfit(Surv (time, status) ~ ph.ecog, data=lung) # lung.byPS Call: survfit(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ ph.ecog, data = lung) 1

Dear r-helpers, This is my first time to run survival analysis. Currently, I have a data set which contains two variables, the variable of time to event (or time to censoring) and the variable of censor indicator. For the indicator variable, it was coded as 0 and 1. 0 represents right censor, 1 means event of interest. Now I try to use "survfit" in the package of "survival". I

Hi! I came across R just a few days ago since I was looking for a toolbox for cox-regression. I?ve read "Cox Proportional-Hazards Regression for Survival Data Appendix to An R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied Regression" from John Fox. As described therein plotting survival-functions works well (plot(survfit(model))). But I?d like to do some manipulation with the survival-functions

The answer to this may be obvious, but I was wondering in the rms package and the survfit(), how you can plot the censored time points as ticks. Take for example, library(survival) library(rms) foo <- data.frame(Time=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,10), Status=c(1,1,0,0,1,1,1)) answer <- survfit(Surv(foo$Time, foo$Status==1) ~1) # this shows the censored time points as ticks at Time = 3 and 4 plot(answer)

Hi All, Please pardon me if I am missing something obvious here. How do I get the Kaplan-Meier estimate function that is created by survfit and plotted by the code. fit <- survfit(Surv(time, status) , data=aml) plot(fit) That is, I need a function that will give me the survival estimate at a given time: \hat{S}(t).

Dear All, Maybe it is a silly question. But I wasn't able to find it from manual or R site search. I was wondering what is the corresponding time axis for survival function outputs in "survfit". I think it is "survfit(.......)$time", but not 100% sure. If it is, is it possible we could make survival function outputs on the pre-specified time grid with fixed increment and

Hi, I am wondering how the confidence interval for Kaplan-Meier estimator is calculated by survfit(). For example,  > summary(survfit(Surv(time,status)~1,data),times=10) Call: survfit(formula = Surv(rtime10, rstat10) ~ 1, data = mgi)  time n.risk n.event survival std.err lower 95% CI upper 95% CI    10    168      55    0.761  0.0282        0.707        0.818 I am trying to reproduce the

i want to make survival plots for a coxph object using survfit function. mod.phm is an object of coxph class which calculated results using columns X and Y from the DataFrame. Both X and Y are categorical. I want survival plots which shows a single line for each of the categories of X i.e. '4' and 'C'. I am getting the following error: > attach(DataFrame) >
