Hello:

In the example below (or for a censored data) using survfit.coxph, can
anyone point me to a link or a pdf as to how the probabilities appearing in
bold under "summary(pred$surv)" are calculated? Do these represent
acumulative probability distribution in time (not including censored time)?

Thanks very much,
parmee

*fit <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ age, data = ovarian)*
*pred <- survfit(fit, newdata=data.frame(age=60))*
*summary(pred)*
