lines.survfit {survival} | R Documentation |
Often used to add the expected survival curve(s) to a Kaplan-Meier plot
generated with plot.survfit
.
## S3 method for class 'survfit' lines(x, type="s", pch=3, col=1, lty=1, lwd=1, cex=1, mark.time=FALSE, xscale=1, xmax, fun, conf.int=FALSE, conf.times, conf.cap=.005, conf.offset=.012, mark, ...) ## S3 method for class 'survexp' lines(x, type="l", ...) ## S3 method for class 'survfit' points(x, xscale, xmax, fun, censor=FALSE, col=1, pch, ...)

a survival object, generated from the |

col, lty, lwd, cex |
vectors giving the mark symbol, color, line type, line width and
character size for the added curves. Of this set only color is
applicable to |
pch |
plotting characters for points, in the style of

mark |

other graphical parameters |
mark.time |
controls the labeling of the curves.
If |
xscale |
this parameter is no longer necessary and is ignored. See the
note in |
xmax |
the maximum horizontal plot coordinate.
This shortens the curve before plotting it, so unlike using the
|
fun |
an arbitrary function defining a transformation of the survival curve.
For example |
conf.int |
if |
conf.times |
optional vector of times at which to place a confidence bar on the curve(s). If present, these will be used instead of confidence bands. |
conf.cap |
width of the horizontal cap on top of the confidence bars; only used if conf.times is used. A value of 1 is the width of the plot region. |
conf.offset |
the offset for confidence bars, when there are multiple curves on the plot. A value of 1 is the width of the plot region. If this is a single number then each curve's bars are offset by this amount from the prior curve's bars, if it is a vector the values are used directly. |
When the survfit
function creates a multi-state survival curve
the resulting object has class ‘survfitms’. The only difference in
the plots is that that it defaults to a curve that goes from lower
left to upper right (starting at 0), where survival curves default
to starting at 1 and going down. All other options are identical.
a list with components x
and y
, containing the coordinates of the
last point on each of the curves (but not of the confidence limits).
This may be useful for labeling.
one or more curves are added to the current plot.
