summary.prodlim: Summary method for prodlim objects.

Description

Summarizing the result of the product limit method in life-table format. Calculates the number of subjects at risk and counts events and censored observations at specified times or in specified time intervals.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'prodlim':
summary(object,
		times,
		newdata,
		verbose = TRUE,
		max.tables = 20,
		incidence = FALSE,
                cause=1,
		intervals = FALSE,
		proz = FALSE,
		...)

Arguments

object

An object with class `prodlim' derived with prodlim

times

Vector of times at which to return the estimated probabilities.

newdata

A data frame with the same variable names as those that appear on the right hand side of the 'prodlim' formula. Defaults to object$model.matrix.

verbose

If FALSE supress all warnings and the printing of the summary.

max.tables

Integer. If newdata is not given the value of max.tables decides about the maximal number of tables to be shown. Defaults to 20.

incidence

Logical. If TRUE report event probabilities instead of survival probabilities. Only when object$model=="survival".

cause

The cause for predicting the cause-specific cumulative incidence function in competing risk models.

intervals

Logical. If TRUE count events and censored in intervals between the values of times.

proz

Logical. If TRUE all estimated values are multiplied by 100 and thus interpretable on a percent scale.

...

Further arguments that are passed to the print function.

Value

A data.frame with the relevant information.

Details

For cluster-correlated data the number of clusters at-risk are are also given. Confidence intervals are displayed when they are part of the fitted object.

Examples

Run this code

SurvFrame <- data.frame(time=1:10,status=rbinom(10,1,.5))
 x <- prodlim(formula=Hist(time=time,status!=0)~1,data=SurvFrame)
 summary(x)
 summary(x,times=c(1,5,10,12),proz=TRUE,intervals=TRUE,digits=3)
