Computes thousands of consonance (confidence) intervals for the chosen parameter in the Cox model computed by the 'survival' package and places the interval limits for each interval level into a data frame along with the corresponding p-value and s-value.
curve_surv(data, x, steps = 10000)Object where the Cox model is stored, typically a list produced by the 'survival' package.
Predictor of interest within the survival model for which the consonance intervals should be computed.
Indicates how many consonance intervals are to be calculated at various levels. For example, setting this to 100 will produce 100 consonance intervals from 0 to 100. Setting this to 10000 will produce more consonance levels. By default, it is set to 1000. Increasing the number substantially is not recommended as it will take longer to produce all the intervals and store them into a dataframe.
