| coxph.detail {survival} | R Documentation |
Returns the individual contributions to the first and second derivative matrix, at each unique event time.
coxph.detail(object, riskmat=FALSE)
object |
a Cox model object, i.e., the result of |
riskmat |
include the at-risk indicator matrix in the output? |
This function may be useful for those who wish to investigate new methods or extensions to the Cox model. The example below shows one way to calculate the Schoenfeld residuals.
a list with components
time |
the vector of unique event times |
nevent |
the number of events at each of these time points. |
means |
a matrix with one row for each event time and one column for each variable
in the Cox model, containing the weighted mean of the variable at that time,
over all subjects still at risk at that time. The weights are the risk
weights |
nrisk |
number of subjects at risk. |
score |
the contribution to the score vector (first derivative of the log partial likelihood) at each time point. |
imat |
the contribution to the information matrix (second derivative of the log partial likelihood) at each time point. |
hazard |
the hazard increment. Note that the hazard and variance of the
hazard are always for some particular future subject. This routine
uses |
varhaz |
the variance of the hazard increment. |
x,y |
copies of the input data. |
strata |
only present for a stratified Cox model, this is
a table giving the number of time points of component |
riskmat |
a matrix with one row for each time and one column for each observation containing a 0/1 value to indicate whether that observation was (1) or was not (0) at risk at the given time point. |
