survival (version 2.9-6)

survfit.object: Survival Curve Object

Description

This class of objects is returned by the survfit class of functions to represent a fitted survival curve.

Objects of this class have methods for the functions print, summary, plot, points and lines. The print.survfit method does more computation than is typical for a print method and is documented on a separate page.

Arguments

SUBSCRIPTS

Survfit objects that contain multiple survival curves can be subscripted. This is most often used to plot a subset of the curves. Usually a single subscript will be used. In one particular case -- survival curves for multiple covariate values, from a Cox model that includes a strata statement -- there is a matrix of curves and 2 subscripts may be used. (In this case summary.survfit will also print the data as a matrix).
