We present a composite endpoint that can be used in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) trials, which combines functional status (via the ALS functional rating scale) and survival, denoted ALS/SURV. ALS/SURV modifies and extends the combined assessment of function and survival (CAFS) score and assigns rankings to participants that withdraw or are lost to follow up in a way that does not disproportionately lower and skew ranks for those participants that reach study endpoint (either death or study completion). ALS/SURV has properties of: (1) ordering participants that completed the study from the shortest surviving participant to the last observed death followed by worst function to best function; (2) ordering participants withdrawing at time of withdrawal by their decline in functional status relative to all the participants still in the study; and (3) then maintaining this ordering at time of withdrawal relative to participants still in the study. These properties allow ALS/SURV to better account for participant drop out compared to CAFS. We derive and compare the rankings of participants from the ceftriaxone treatment trial for ALS/SURV and CAFS and demonstrate that ALS/SURV does not modify the ordering of participants that complete a study by the results of participants who withdraw. Additionally, ALS/SURV can be summarized as either median functional status or median survival along with interquartile range, thereby adding clinical meaning to the statistic. Finally, by applying normal deviates, confidence intervals can be computed and used to estimate power for future studies. In summary, the above properties support the role for ALS/SURV as a new ALS composite statistic.
is.na, and subscripting survival objects. Surv objects are implemented as a matrix of 2 or 3 columns that has further attributes. These include the type (left censored, right censored, counting process, etc.) and labels for the states for multi-state objects. Any attributes of the input arguments are also preserved in inputAttributes. This may be useful for other packages that have attached further information to data items such as labels; none of the routines in the survival package make use of these values, however.
When the survival type is "mstate" then the status variable will be treated as a factor. The first level of the factor is taken to represent censoring and remaining ones a transition to the given state. (If the status variable is a factor then mstate is assumed.)
Presently, the only methods allowing interval censored data are the parametric models computed by survreg and survival curvescomputed by survfit; for both of these, the distinction between open and closed intervalsis unimportant. The distinction is important for counting process data and the Cox model.
The function tries to distinguish between the use of 0/1 and 1/2 coding for censored data via the condition if (max(status)==2). If 1/2 coding is used and all the subjects are censored, it will guess wrong.In any questionable case it is safer to use logical coding,e.g., Surv(time, status==3) would indicate that '3' isthe code for an event.For multi-state survival the status variable will be a factor, whosefirst level is assumed to correspond to censoring.
Surv objects can be subscripted either as a vector, e.g.x[1:3] using a single subscript,in which case the drop argument is ignored and the result will bea survival object; or as a matrix by using two subscripts.If the second subscript is missing and drop=F(the default),the result of the subscripting will be a Surv object, e.g., x[1:3,,drop=F],otherwise the result will be a matrix (or vector), in accordance withthe default behavior for subscripting matrices.
I'm performing survival analysis, and I want to create a Surv object as its own column in a data.table. Although Surv objects are considered vectors, I can't use them to make new column since they are actually a 2 column matrix. Is there an elegant way to include Surv objects without splitting them into separate columns?
It's not yet clear what the underlying plan is for such a construction, but if the hope is to do survival modeling inside the data.table environment then separate construction of a Surv-object is not necessary. One should get comfortable with putting in complete expressions in the data.table j-position:
In fact the practice of separate construction of Surv-objects outside of the coxph function is something that brings questions to the rhelp mailing list because such outside makes an object whose environment is not the dataframe offered to coxph but is rather the globalenv(). Terry Therneau, the author of the survival package, warns people NOT to make separate Surv-objects. This is entirely separate from any issues regarding encapsulation of matrices in data.table, but hopefully it will reduce the level of frustration with this barrier.
I am attempting to do a survival analysis, with "time to loss to follow up".I have tried to fix the error by ensuring that the column is numeric (see strings as factors and colClasses in the .csv read function below), but it has not solved the error.I have trawled stack overflow and other sites for answers, but I am stuck.Can anyone help, please?

To restate the title, the surv-12 surgical kit will sometimes, upon choosing to 'use' the item without designating a specific limb, choose a fractured but not blacked out limb to repair before the blacked out limb. I don't know how difficult this would be to change, but it seems silly to me and it would be a minor (but relieving) QOL fix if it just prioritized blacked limbs 100% of the time.
I am using the hardhat package to write a package that performs modeling for time to event outcomes. We use survival::Surv() to construct the outcome. The hardhat documentation was great for helping get a "formula" method working, e.g. foo(Surv(time, status) var1 + var2).
Simulating bivariate survival data from copula models. Estimation of the association parameter in copula models. Two different ways to estimate the association parameter in copula models are implemented. A goodness-of-fit test for a given copula model is implemented. See Emura, Lin and Wang (2010) for details.
