plot.competing.risk: Plots for Competing Risks

Description

Plot the ensemble cumulative incidence function (CIF) and cause-specific cumulative hazard function (CSCHF) from a competing risk analysis.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'rfsrc':
plot.competing.risk(x, plots.one.page = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class (rfsrc, grow) or (rfsrc, predict).

plots.one.page

Should plots be placed on one page?

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

Ensemble ensemble CSCHF and CIF functions for each event type. Does not apply to right-censored data.
