autoplot.ate: Plot Average Risks

In riskRegression: Risk Regression Models and Prediction Scores for Survival Analysis with Competing Risks

Plot Average Risks

Description

Plot average risks.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ate'
autoplot(
  object,
  type = "meanRisk",
  first.derivative = FALSE,
  estimator = object$estimator[1],
  ci = object$inference$ci,
  band = object$inference$band,
  plot.type = "1",
  plot = TRUE,
  smooth = FALSE,
  digits = 2,
  alpha = NA,
  ylab = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	Object obtained with the function ate.
type	[character vector] what to displayed. Can be "meanRisk" to display the risks specific to each treatment group, "diffRisk" to display the difference in risks between treatment groups, or "ratioRisk" to display the ratio of risks between treatment groups,.
first.derivative	[logical] If TRUE, display the first derivative over time of the risks/risk differences/risk ratios. (confidence intervals are obtained via simulation).
estimator	[character] The type of estimator relative to which the risks should be displayed.
ci	[logical] If TRUE display the confidence intervals for the average risks.
band	[logical] If TRUE display the confidence bands for the average risks.
plot.type	[character] Type of plot to be used. plot.type="2" is useful when looking simulateneous at all eventtimes. Otherwise use plot.type="1".
plot	[logical] Should the graphic be plotted.
smooth	[logical] Should a smooth version of the risk function be plotted instead of a simple function?
digits	[integer, >0] Number of decimal places.
alpha	[numeric, 0-1] Transparency of the confidence bands. Argument passed to ggplot2::geom_ribbon.
ylab	[character] Label for the y axis.
...	Additional parameters to cutomize the display.

Value

Invisible. A list containing:

• plot: the ggplot object.

• data: the data used to create the plot.

Examples

library(survival)
library(rms)
library(ggplot2)

#### simulate data ####
n <- 1e2
set.seed(10)
dtS <- sampleData(n,outcome="survival")
seqTimes <- c(0,sort(dtS$time[dtS$event==1]),max(dtS$time))

#### Cox model ####
fit <- cph(formula = Surv(time,event)~ X1+X2,data=dtS,y=TRUE,x=TRUE)

#### plot.type = 1: for few timepoints ####
ateFit <- ate(fit, data = dtS, treatment = "X1",
              times = c(1,2,5,10), se = TRUE, band = TRUE)
ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit)
## Not run: 
ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, band = FALSE)
ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, type = "diffRisk")
ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, type = "ratioRisk")

## End(Not run)

#### plot.type = 2: when looking at all jump times ####
## Not run: 
ateFit <- ate(fit, data = dtS, treatment = "X1",
              times = seqTimes, se = TRUE, band = TRUE)

ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, plot.type = "2")

## customize plot
outGG <- ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, plot.type = "2", alpha = 0.25)
outGG$plot + facet_wrap(~X1, labeller = label_both)


## Looking at the difference after smoothing
outGGS <- ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, plot.type = "2", alpha = NA, smooth = TRUE)
outGGS$plot + facet_wrap(~X1, labeller = label_both)

## first derivative
## (computation of the confidence intervals takes time)
## (based on simulation - n.sim parameter)
ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, plot.type = "2", smooth = TRUE,
                  band = FALSE, type = "diffRisk")
ggplot2::autoplot(ateFit, plot.type = "2", smooth = TRUE, first.derivative = TRUE,
                  band = FALSE, type = "diffRisk")

## End(Not run)
