Dear R users, My apologies for the simple question, as I'm starting to learn the concepts behind the Cox PH model. I was just experimenting with the survival and rms packages for this.
I'm simply trying to obtain the expected survival time (as opposed to the probability of survival at a given time t). I can't seem to find an option from the "type" argument in the predict methods from coxph{survival} or cph{rms} that will give me expected survival times. library(rms) options(na.action=na.exclude) # retain NA in predictions fit <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ age + ph.ecog, lung) fit2 <- cph(Surv(time, status) ~ age + ph.ecog, lung) head(predict(fit,type="lp")) head(predict(fit2,type="lp")) Thank you. Regards, Axel.
