plotHaz: Graphical comparing of cumulative hazards

Description

Comparison of the cumulative hazards functions for a semi-parametric and parametric models.

Usage

plotHaz(
  sp,
  pp,
  interval,
  main = NULL,
  xlab = "Time",
  ylab = "Cum. hazards",
  leglab,
  col = c("blue", "red"),
  lty = 1:2,
  ylim,
  log = "",
  printLegend = TRUE
)

Value

No return value.

Arguments

sp

An object of type "coxreg" or "phreg", typically output from coxreg or phreg.

pp

An object of type "coxreg" or "phreg", typically output from coxreg or phreg.

interval

Time interval for the plot, if missing, calculated from sp.

main

Header for the plot. Default is distribution and "cumulative hazard function"

xlab

Label on x axis (default "Time")

ylab

Label on y axis (default "Cum. Hazards")

leglab

Labels in legend.

col

Line colors. should be NULL (black lines) or of length 2

lty

line types.

ylim

Y limits for the plot.

log

Argument sent to plot, defaults to "".

printLegend

Should a legend be printed? Default is TRUE.
