Summary method for Cox models

Description

Produces a summary of a fitted coxph model

Usage

## S3 method for class 'coxph'
summary(object, conf.int=0.95, scale=1,...)

Arguments

object	the result of a coxph fit
conf.int	level for computation of the confidence intervals. If set to FALSE no confidence intervals are printed
scale	vector of scale factors for the coefficients, defaults to 1. The printed coefficients, se, and confidence intervals will be associated with one scale unit.
...	for future methods

Value

An object of class summary.coxph, with components:

n, nevent	number of observations and number of events, respectively, in the fit
loglik	the log partial likelihood at the initial and final values
coefficients	a matrix with one row for each coefficient, and columns containing the coefficient, the hazard ratio exp(coef), standard error, Wald statistic, and P value.
conf.int	a matrix with one row for each coefficient, containing the confidence limits for exp(coef)
logtest, sctest, waldtest	the overall likelihood ratio, score, and Wald test statistics for the model
concordance	the concordance statistic and its standard error
used.robust	whether an asymptotic or robust variance was used
rsq	an approximate R^2 based on Nagelkerke (Biometrika 1991).
fail	a message, if the underlying coxph call failed
call	a copy of the call
na.action	information on missing values

Note

The pseudo r-squared of Nagelkerke is attractive because it is simple, but further work has shown that it has poor properties and it is now deprecated. The value is no longer printed by default, and will eventually be removed from the object. The royston function now includes it along with several other measures of association.
