timeROC (version 0.4)

print: Print objects in the timeROC library

Description

Printing of objects created with the timeROC function

Usage

# S3 method for ipcwsurvivalROC
print(x, No.lines=5,digits=2, ...)
# S3 method for ipcwcompetingrisksROC
print(x, No.lines=5,digits=2, ...)
# S3 method for ipcwsurvivalSeSpPPVNPV
print(x, No.lines=5,digits=2, ...)
# S3 method for ipcwcompetingrisksSeSpPPVNPV
print(x, No.lines=5,digits=2, ...)

Arguments

x

Object of class "ipcwsurvivalROC", "ipcwcompetingrisksROC", "ipcwsurvivalSeSpPPVNPV" or "ipcwcompetingrisksSeSpPPVNPV".

No.lines

The (maximum) number of lines printed. Each line corresponds to a time point included in the vector times of the object x. For example, if No.lines=5, then the function chooses the five time points corresponding to the quantiles of the vector times of the object x. If No.lines=10, it chooses the deciles, etc...

digits

The number of significant digits. Default value is digits = 2.

Not used.

Details

The print function recalls the sample size (after having removed missing data), the AUC estimates, and the estimated standard errors (only if they have been estimated) for at maximum No.lines time points. In addition, it displays the frequencies of :

  • observed cases: subjects for which we know they undergo the (main) event prior the time "t" of interest.

  • survivors : event-free subjects at time "t" of interest.

  • censored subjects : censored subjects prior the time "t" of interest, for which we cannot know if they undergo an event or not prior time "t" (and so for which we cannot know if they are cases or controls at time "t").

  • other events: (in the competing risks setting only) subjects for which we know that they undergo an event different from the main event prior the time "t" of interest.

Furthermore, the function recalls the method used to compute the inverse probability of censoring weights.
