Hi all, I cant' wrap my head around an error from the coxph function (package survival). Here's an example:
library(survival) n = 100; set.seed(1); time = rexp(n); event = sample(c(0,1), n, replace = TRUE) covar = data.frame(z = rnorm(n)); model = coxph(Surv(time, event)~ . , data = covar) R gives the following error: > model = coxph(Surv(time, event)~ . , data = covar) Error in terms.formula(formula, specials = special) : '.' in formula and no 'data' argument I read through the help file for coxph but nothing jumps out... what am I doing wrong? > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.0 Patched (2012-04-01 r58897) Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 [7] LC_PAPER=C LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] splines stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] survival_2.36-13 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.15.0 Thanks in advance for all replies!
