residuals.rsadd: Calculate Residuals for a "rsadd" Fit

Description

Calculates partial residuals for an additive relative survival model.

Usage

# S3 method for rsadd
residuals(object, type = "schoenfeld", ...)

Value

A list of the following values is returned:

res: a matrix containing the residuals for each variable.
varr: the variance for each residual
varr1: the sum of varr.
kvarr: the derivative of each residual, to be used in rs.zph function.
kvarr1: the sum of kvarr.

Arguments

object: an object inheriting from class rsadd, representing a fitted additive relative survival model. Typically this is the output from the rsadd function.
type: character string indicating the type of residual desired. Currently only Schoenfeld residuals are implemented.
...: other arguments.
