Hi all, I would like to ask whether anyone knows if the censorReg in S-plus regress the mean survival model or the hazard and if it uses the maximum likelihood in order to estimate the values? In addition, is there anyone knowing why censorReg does not exist in R and what's the difference between censorReg and survreg (besides the truncation)? Cheers,Skevi [[alternative HTML version

Hello, I would like to know if there is a function in R that will test for normality and handle censored data sets. Currently, I evaluate each censored data set by the extent to which a normal scores plot approximate a straight line. For complete data sets I use shapiro.test(). Below is an example of a censored data set. data1<-c(0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 5.86, 5.17, 8.17, 5.12, 4.92, 7.08,

Hi, I need to get mean and variance of right censored data. How can I do that? I have a vector of values (called a) and vector of booleans (whether value is censored) (called b). What to do with this? Sorry, I'm R beginner. Thank you! Pete

Dear R-experts: I am using survreg() to estimate the parameters of a Weibull density having right-censored observations. Some observations are weighted. To do that I regress the weighed observations against a column of ones. When I enter the data as 37 weighted observations, the parameter estimates are exactly the same as when I enter the data as the corresponding 70 unweighted observations.

Hi everybody, Working with interval censored data using S+, I often use the survival analysis' functions kaplanMeier() and censorReg(). Does anybody know, whether these functions exist in R, too? Thanks in advance for any answer! Saludos, Klaus. ---------------------------------------------------- Klaus Langohr Departament d?Estad?stica i Investigaci? Operativa Universitat Polit?cnica de

Hi Group, I wonder if R has the function CensorReg which takes care of left truncation. I know it's in S. Thank you so much! Kel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi all, Is there an equivalent to predict(...,type="linear") of a Proportional hazard model for a Cox model instead? For example, the Figure 13.12 in MASS (p384) is produced by: (aids.ps <- survreg(Surv(survtime + 0.9, status) ~ state + T.categ + pspline(age, df=6), data = Aidsp)) zz <- predict(aids.ps, data.frame(state = factor(rep("NSW", 83), levels =

Hi just wondering if there is a package that can get the maximum likelihood or method of moments estimator for distributions with censored data? The distributions I'm interested in are: Exponential, pareto, beta, gamma and lognormal. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/MLE-for-censored-distributions-in-R-tp15022863p15022863.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Dear list, I would like to simulate individual survival times from a model that has been fitted using the survreg procedure (library survival). Output shown below. My plan is to extract the shape and scale arguments for use with rweibull() since my error terms are assumed to be Weibull, but it does not make any sense. The mean survival time is easy to predict, but I would like to simulate

I hope this question is sufficiently different from the other requests for book recommendations that it's not repetitious. If not, I apologize in advance. I'm curious what standard reference books working statisticians, or biostatisticians, have within easy reach of their desk. I'm a computer systems administrator, and have a two-foot bookshelf directory under my monitor that contains

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 all, I am new to R and may make beginner mistakes. Sorry. I am learning using R to do survival analysis. As a start I used the example script code provided in the documentation of predict.survreg of the survival package: # Draw figure 1 from Escobar and Meeker fit <- survreg(Surv(time,status) ~ age + age^2, data=stanford2, dist='lognormal') plot(stanford2$age, stanford2$time,

Hello, I have been googling for 2 days and I cannot find the answer in previous posts. I have a set of d-dimensional data elements (d=11 .. 14), each data point can be censored at different values both Lower-limit and upper limit. N = 2000 sets of vectors of D=11 data points per vector. Each of the N*D points can have different upper and lower limits. I "simply" want to fit a

Hi, I usually have around 10 identities loaded in my local ssh-agent and when I use the "ForwardAgent" option all them are forwarded to the remote server, which is not ideal. I usually only need to forward one (or two) of the identities and I would like to be able to choose which one(s) to forward. Looking for solutions it seems that the only option is to create a new ssh-agent, add

Dear R users, I tried to analysis the hazard function of some data by coxph function in survival package. The type of the data include "left-censored", "right-censored", "both right-censored and left-censored" (btw, does this has a technical term?), and "complete" ones. I noticed that event (one parameter in "Surv()") might be an indicator for the

One set of data has censored (less-than detection limits) water chemistry concentrations for 80-100% of all observations. My initial trial-and-error attempts to apply the cenboxplot() method suggests that it has an upper limit to the percentage of censored observations. I do not see this limit in Dennis Helsel's second edition. Has anyone experience plotting censored data and can provide

Hi Masters! Soy nuevo en esto y por favor necesito su ayuda.... Tengo 2 enlaces de internet, en un router linux, necesito saber como se puede hacer que si se cae un enlace, automaticamente con ip route configure el Gateway y la ip del otro enlace para que los usuarios salgan a internet. En si es hacer una contingencia de los dos proveedores cosa que si cae un enlace levante el otro y que despues

Can anybody give me a neat example of interval censored data analysis codes in R? Given that suvreg(Surv(c(1,1,NA,3),c(2,NA,2,3),type="interval2")~1) works why does survreg(Surv(data[,1],data[,2],type="interval2")~1) not work where data is : T.1 T.2 Status 1 0.0000000 0.62873036 1 2 0.0000000 2.07039068 1 3 0.0000000

Hi all! I have two survival data sets looking at similar effects in different settings. One data set is only right censored, but the other is interval censored. In the right censored data set, there is an effect of one factor that causes very different shapes in survival curves (and non-proportional hazards) and I'd really like to say that the same factor has a similar effect in the other

Hi, I am wondering how to specify interval-censored data in coxph? The example in the help page summary(coxph(Surv(start, stop, event) ~ x, data = test2)) is for counting process data, is the counting process data the same as interval-censored data? Thanks __________________________________
