plot.aalen: Plots estimates and test-processes

Description

This function plots the non-parametric cumulative estimates for the additive risk model or the test-processes for the hypothesis of time-varying effects with re-sampled processes under the null.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'aalen':
plot(x,pointwise.ci=1,hw.ci=0,sim.ci=0,robust=0,
specific.comps=FALSE,level=0.05, start.time=0,stop.time=0,add.to.plot=FALSE,
mains=TRUE,xlab="Time",ylab="Cumulative coefficients",score=FALSE,...)

Arguments

x
the output from the "aalen" function.
pointwise.ci
if >1 pointwise confidence intervals are plotted with lty=pointwise.ci
hw.ci
if >1 Hall-Wellner confidence bands are plotted with lty=hw.ci. Only 0.95 % bands can be constructed.
sim.ci
if >1 simulation based confidence bands are plotted with lty=sim.ci. These confidence bands are robust to non-martingale behaviour.
robust
robust standard errors are used to estimate standard error of estimate, otherwise martingale based standard errors are used.
specific.comps
all components of the model is plotted by default, but a list of components may be specified, for example first and third "c(1,3)".
level
gives the significance level.
start.time
start of observation period where estimates are plotted.
stop.time
end of period where estimates are plotted. Estimates thus plotted from [start.time, max.time].
add.to.plot
to add to an already existing plot.
mains
add names of covariates as titles to plots.
xlab
label for x-axis.
ylab
label for y-axis.
score
to plot test processes for test of time-varying effects along with 50 random realization under the null-hypothesis.
...
unused arguments - for S3 compatibility
