Dear all,

when i do  the calibration plot,

Not a well defined operation ....
i put the x label   y label , there is

some labels are i did not put it , like "resample optimism added ..." i

want to get rid of the these label , is any body know how can i get rid of these label.

Jumping ahead these didn't turn out to be "labels" but rather "subtitles". "Labels" generally refer to the text that are associated with tick marks.


these are the following command i used

Presumably f is a fit object of some sort ....

cal <- calibrate(f, u=12, method=c("boot"), B=100,m=70, data=a1)

plot(cal,xlab="Predicted Survival", ylab="Actual Survival")

Next time you post you should indicate:
 -- what packages and version you are using.
 -- what code you used to create the object on which you are working
 -- a small example to create something like the object

Guessing that you were using something similar to the rms/Hmisc combination, I ran the first example in ?cph and then offered it to calibrate and plot. I then did:

> class(cal)
[1] "calibrate"
> methods(plot) # turns out that plot.calibrate is visible so getAnywhere was not needed
> plot.calibrate

... and looked at the code. There is a section where the value for "subtitles" is checked before creating the annotations in question.

Try:
plot(cal,xlab="Predicted Survival", ylab="Actual Survival", subtitles=FALSE)

I was then going to criticize my own behavior and say that I _should_ have looked at the documentation first but when I did I did not initially find the subtitles argument documented in the listing of arguments, but I did eventually see it mentioned in the Usage section for the function plot.calibrate.
