Hello friends and fellow R users,
I have successfully tabulated and entered my survival data into R and
have generated survival curves. But I would like to be able to determine
what the survival rates are now at one month, three months, six months
and one year.
I have a data set, via.wall, which I have entered into R, and which
generates the following Surv object:
Surv(Days,Status==1)
[1] 648+ 3 109 241 99 7 849+ 105 3+ 539+ 121 42 490
21 870+
[16] 175 20 434 289 826+ 831+ 664 698+ 5 24 655+ 18 7+
85+ 65+
[31] 547+ 8 1 55+ 69 499+ 448+ 0 158+ 31 246+ 230+ 19
118+ 54
[46] 48+ 45+ 21+ 670+ 585 558+ 544+ 494 481+ 474+ 472+ 461 447
446+ 443+
[61] 429+ 423+ 401 395+ 390 390+ 389+ 383+ 383+ 373+ 362+ 354 344+
342 336+
[76] 335+ 326+ 306 300+ 292 284+ 280+ 271 246+ 237+ 234 233+ 233
230+ 230+
[91] 226+ 225+ 218+ 215 211+ 199+ 191+ 191 190+ 184+ 169+ 163+ 161+
153 150
[106] 129+ 110+ 107+ 100+ 84+ 77+ 69+ 52+ 38+ 11+
> names(wall.via)
[1] "Description" "Patient" "Physician" "MRN" "Age"
[6] "Status" "Days" "Cr" "INR" "BR"
[11] "MELD" "type"
I can guess pretty accurately by looking at the graph what the survival
rates are at each interval, but I would like to understand how to
instruct R to calculate it. Hope I have made this clear. I am just a
beginner, so forgive me if this is trivial. It just isn't clear to me.
Thanks,
Greg
