Checking the calibration of a nomogram for a survey-weighted Cox model

Description

Checks the calibration of a nomogram for a survey-weighted Cox model.

Usage

svycox.calibrate(.nom, .timept = .nom$pred.at, .ngroup = 5)

Arguments

.nom	a nomogram object from svycox.nomogram
.timept	the time point at which calibration will take place; defaults to the time value of the prediction axis in the nomogram
.ngroup	number of groups to be formed for validation purposes

Value

returns a matrix of calibration values and plots them
