Hello,
it seems that the main results of survival analysis with package survival
are shown only as side effects of the print method.
If I compute e.g. a Kaplan-Meier estimate by
> km.survdur<-survfit(s.survdur)
then I can simply print the results by
> km.survdur
Call: survfit(formula = s.survdur)
n events median 0.95LCL 0.95UCL
100.0 58.0 46.8 41.0 79.3
Is there a simple method to access these results, e.g. if I want to print
only the median with the confidence limits?
Regarding the results of a Cox-PH-model I face the same situation. The
printed results are:
> cx.survdur.ipss_mds.sex
Call:
coxph(formula = s.survdur ~ x1 + x2, method = "efron")
coef exp(coef) se(coef) z p
x1 0.6424 1.90 0.206 3.123 0.0018
x2.L 0.0616 1.06 0.263 0.234 0.8100
Likelihood ratio test=9.56 on 2 df, p=0.0084 n=58 (42 observations
deleted due to missing)
Is there a simple method to copy e.g. the coefficients and p-values in a
new object?
I am working with:
