Dear R users,
i try to calculate the probabilty to survive a given time by using the
estimated survival curve by kaplan meier.
What is the right way to do that? as far as is see i cannot use the
predict-methods from the survival package?
library(survival)
set.seed(1)
time <- cumsum(rexp(1000)/10)
status <- rbinom(1000, 1, 0.5)
## kaplan meier estimates
fit <- survfit(Surv(time, status) ~ 1)
s <- summary(fit)
## 1. possibility to get the probability for surviving 20 units of time
ind <- findInterval(20, s$time)
cbind(s$surv[ind], s$time[ind])
## 2. possibility to get the probability for surviving 20 units of time
ind <- s$time >= 20
sum(ind) / length(ind)
Thanks and best regards
Andreas
