plotSurvROC: generates time-dependent ROC plots from Cox predicted risks

In eNetXplorer: Quantitative Exploration of Elastic Net Families for Generalized Linear Models

Description

For Cox regression models, this function generates time-dependent ROC plot(s) (true positive rate vs false positive rate) for a given alpha at the timepoint(s) provided based on median predicted risk. Provided that the eNetXplorer object was generated with survAUC=T, the cross-validated median AUC and 95% CI are shown in the default title. For more details, see Heagerty et al and package survivalROC.

Usage

plotSurvROC(x, alpha.index=NULL, survAUC_time,
xlab="False positive rate (1 - Specificity)",
ylab="True positive rate (Sensitivity)", cex.lab=1, main=NULL, col.main="black", 
cex.main=0.95, status0="censored", status1="events", ...)

Arguments

x	eNetXplorer object (must be family="cox").
alpha.index	Integer indices to select alpha values. Default is 1:length(alpha)
survAUC_time	Timepoint(s) of interest. Must be in the same time units as the survival time provided to build the eNetXplorer object.
xlab	Custom x-axis label.
ylab	Custom y-axis label.
cex.lab	Axis label size.
main	Custom title.
col.main	Title color.
cex.main	Title size.
status0	Title label for censoring ("status"=0).
status1	Title label for events ("status"=1).
...	Additional parameters.
