Re: [R] isssues with predict.coxph, offset, type = "expected", and newdata

Thanks Terry, Re: the second case (predicting from a null model with a newdata= argument), I agree that it looks a bit over the top for such a straight forward computation, so maybe it is more a wish than anything else. In this one instance, this computation is embedded in a wider multi-state sim

[R] isssues with predict.coxph, offset, type = "expected", and newdata?

Hi, It seems there might be two issues with predict.coxph(), and I'd appreciate confirmation before submitting a bug report to the package author. (1) predict() seems to produce incorrect predictions when using type = "expected" from a Cox model with an offset and specifying a new data for predi
