Hi Kathy,

Expected refers to the expected number of events for an individual over the
observed at-risk interval.  Most of the theory behind Therneau's 'survival'
package explanation of many of its functionality is covered in the following
report:

http://cancercenter.mayo.edu/mayo/research/biostat/upload/survival.pdf

and of course in his book "Modeling Survival Data".

Cheers,
-Christos

Hi everyone, 

Can anyone give me more details about the 'lp', 'risk', 'terms', and
'expected'
options from the predict.coxph function?
 
I actually found that risk is obtained from exp(lp). I can't find
information on 'expected' type however. Is anybody can expand the
information on this function?

Thank you in advance, I will appreciate it.
