TimeSurvProb: Predict cumulative survival probabilities for new data at...

In ePCR: Ensemble Penalized Cox Regression for Survival Prediction

Description

Given a readily fitted regularized Cox regression model, this function predicts the cumulative survival probabilities for new data at time points determined by the user. The function uses c060-package's functionality for computing base hazard, and then performs linear predictions for new observations using the fitted regularized Cox regression model.

Usage

TimeSurvProb(fit, time, event, olddata, newdata, s, times = c(1:36) *
  30.5, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

fit	A single regularized Cox regression model fitted using glmnet
time	Time to events for the training data
event	Event indicators for the training data (0 censored, 1 event)
olddata	The old data matrix used to fit the original 'fit' glmnet-object
newdata	The new data matrix for which to predict time-to-event prediction (should comform to the old data matrix)
s	The optimal lambda parameter as used in the glmnet-package for its fit objects
times	The time points at which to estimate the cumulative survival probabilities (by default in days)
plot	Should the cumulative survival probabilities be plotted as a function of time

Value

Cumulative survival probabilities at the chosen time points
