survival changes
In the next version of the survival package I intend to make a non-upwardly compatable 
change to the survfit object.? With over 600 dependent packages this is not something to 
take lightly, and I am currently undecided about the best way to go about it.? I'm looking 
for advice.
The change: 20+ years ago I had decided not to include the initial x=0,y=1 data point in 
the survfit object

simple save question
Hi,
When I run the survfit function, I want to get the restricted mean  
value and the standard error also. I found out using the "print"  
function to do so, as shown below,
  print(km.fit,print.rmean=TRUE)
Call: survfit(formula = Surv(diff, status) ~ 1, type = "kaplan-meier")
    records      n.max    n.start     events     *rmean *se(rmean)     median

Speeding up prediction of survival estimates when using `survifit'
Hi,
I fit a Cox PH model to estimate the cause-specific hazards (in a competing risks setting).  Then , I compute the survival estimates for all the individuals in my data set using the `survfit' function.  I am currently playing with a data set that has about 6000 observations and 12 covariates.  I am finding that the survfit function is very slow.  
Here is a simple simulation example

Survfit with a coxph object
I am fitting a coxph model on a large dataset (approx 100,000 patients), and
then trying to estimate the survival curves for several new patients based
on the coxph object using survfit.  When I run coxph I get the coxph object
back fairly quickly however when I try to run survfit  it does not come
back. I  am wondering if their is a more efficient way to get predicted
survival curves from a coxph

Function call error in cph/survest (package Design)
Dear UseR,
I do not know if this a problem with me, my data or cph/survest in package
design. The example below works with a standard data set, but not with my
data, but I cannot locate the problem.
Note that I am using an older package of survival to avoid a problem with
the newly renamed function in survival meeting Design.

Problem with plotting survival predictions from cph model
Dear R-helpers,
I am working with 'cph' models from 'rms' library. When I build simple 
survival models, based on 'Surv(time, event)', everything is fine and I 
can make nice plots using plot(Predict(f, time=3)).
However, recently I tried to be more specific and used 'Surv(start, 
stop, event)' type model. Using this model 'plot(Predict(f))' works OK, 
but

Predictions from "coxph" or "cph" objects
Dear R users,
My apologies for the simple question, as I'm starting to learn the concepts
behind the Cox PH model. I was just experimenting with the survival and rms
packages for this.
I'm simply trying to obtain the expected survival time (as opposed to the
probability of survival at a given time t). I can't seem to find an option
from the "type" argument in the predict

survfit
Hello R helpers:
*My first message didn't pass trough filter so here it's again*
I would like to obtain probability of an event for one single patient as a
function of time (from survfit.coxph) object, as I want to find what is the
probability of an event say at 1 month and what is the probability of an
event at 80 months and compare. So I tried the following but it fails
miserably. I

Weibull Prediction?
I am trying to generate predictions from a weibull survival curve but it
seems that the predictions assume that the shape(scale for
survfit) parameter is one(Exponential but with a strange rate estimate?).
Here is an examle of the problem, the smaller the shape is the worse the
discrepancy.
### Set Parameters
scale<-10
shape<-.85
### Find Mean
scale*gamma(1 + 1/shape)

survest and survfit.coxph returned different confidence intervals on estimation of survival probability at 5 year
I wonder if anyone know why survest (a function in Design package) and
standard survfit.coxph (survival) returned different confidence
intervals on survival probability estimation (say 5 year). 
 
I am trying to estimate the 5-year survival probability on a continuous
predictor (e.g. Age in this case). Here is what I did based on an
example in "help cph". The 95% confidence intervals

Probabilities from survfit.coxph:
Hello:
In the example below (or for a censored data) using survfit.coxph, can
anyone point me to a link or a pdf as to how the probabilities appearing in
bold under "summary(pred$surv)" are calculated? Do these represent
acumulative probability distribution in time (not including censored time)?
Thanks very much,

Is the output of survfit.coxph survival or baseline survival?
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!
