predict: predicted events

In survMisc: Miscellaneous Functions for Survival Data

Description

predicted events

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ten'
predict(object, ..., eMP = TRUE, reCalc = FALSE)

Arguments

object	An object of class ten.
eMP	Add column(s) indicating events minus predicted.
...	Additional arguments (not implemented).
reCalc	Recalcuate the values? If reCalc=FALSE (the default) and the ten object already has the calculated values stored as an attribute, the value of the attribute is returned directly.

Details

With K covariate groups, We use ncg[i, k], the number at risk for group k, to calculate the number of expected events:

P[i, k] = e[i] * ncg[i, k] / n[i]

Value

An attribute, pred is added to object:

t	Times with at least one observation
P_	predicted number of events

And if eMP==TRUE (the default):

eMP_	events minus predicted

The names of the object's covariate groups are used to make the suffixes of the column names (i.e. after the _ character).

Note

There is a predicted value for each unique time, for each covariate group.

Examples

## K&M. Example 7.2, Table 7.2, pp 209-210.
data("kidney", package="KMsurv")
k1 <- ten(Surv(time=time, event=delta) ~ type, data=kidney)
predict(k1)
predict(asWide(k1))
stopifnot(predict(asWide(k1))[, sum(eMP_1 + eMP_2)] <=
          .Machine$double.neg.eps)
## Three covariate groups
## K&M. Example 7.4, pp 212-214.
data("bmt", package="KMsurv")
b1 <- ten(Surv(time=t2, event=d3) ~ group, data=bmt)
predict(b1)
## one group only
predict(ten(Surv(time=t2, event=d3) ~ 1, data=bmt))
