[R] Survival statistics--displaying multiple plots

[Petr Klasterecky]

Have a look at
?lines
?points
?plot - the option add, add=TRUE

You will have to specify proper limits on both axes, otherwise you may 
only see parts of the graphs. Some functions in the survival library 
also allow stratified analyses in which case the plots account for 
different strata.

>> plot(survfit(Surv(days,status==1),subset(tips,meld<10)) 
> 
> where "tips" is my data set, "days" is the number of days alive, and meld is
> the meld score.

> What I would like to do is display the survival graphs of patients with
> meld<10, 10<meld<20, and meld>20. I am unsure about how to go about this.
