Hello Thomas,

I had been using both survival & design packages. I have just tested both packages and can report that the error only appears after loading Design. If I just run survival there is no error.

regards

Bob

Hello,

I now receive an error message when obtaining a survival plot, which was not previously received with the same code. I recently updated all my packages. It does not seem to be a peculiarity of my data as I receive the error using data available in R. A plot is produced but I am uncertain regarding the error message.



library(surv2sample)
data(gastric)
fit <- survfit(Surv(time, event) ~ treatment, data = gastric)
Error in get(x, envir = ns, inherits = FALSE) :
 variable "survfit.km" was not found
#Default plot:
plot(fit)

You don't show what packages you have loaded. My guess would be that you are calling Design::survfit rather than survival::survfit, and the problem is due to the incompatibility between the most recent versions of Design and survival. Frank Harrell and the folks at Vanderbilt are working on a new version of Design.
