- x
a survival object, generated from the survfit or survexp functions.
- type
the line type, as described in lines. The default is a step function
for survfit objects, and a connected line for survexp
objects.
All other arguments for lines.survexp are identical to those
for lines.survfit.
- col, lty, lwd, cex
vectors giving the mark symbol, color, line type, line width and
character size for the added curves. Of this set only color is
applicable to points.
- pch
plotting characters for points, in the style of
matplot, i.e., either a single string of characters of which
the first will be used for the first curve, etc; or a vector
of characters or integers, one element per curve.
- mark
a historical alias for pch
- censor
should censoring times be displayed for the points
function?
- mark.time
controls the labeling of the curves.
If FALSE, no labeling is done.
If TRUE, then curves are marked at each censoring time.
If mark.time is a numeric vector, then curves are marked at
the specified time points.
- xmax
optional cutoff for the right hand of the curves.
- fun
an arbitrary function defining a transformation of the survival curve.
For example fun=log is an alternative way to draw a log-survival curve
(but with the axis labeled with log(S) values).
Four often used transformations can be specified with a character
argument instead: "log" is the same as using the log=T option,
"event" plots cumulative events (f(y) = 1-y),
"cumhaz" plots the cumulative hazard function (f(y) = -log(y))
and "cloglog" creates a complimentary log-log survival plot
(f(y) = log(-log(y))) along with log scale for the x-axis.
- conf.int
if TRUE, confidence bands for the curves are also plotted.
If set to "only", then only the CI bands are plotted, and the curve
itself is left off.
This can be useful for fine control over the colors or line types of a
plot.
A numeric value, e.g. conf.int = .90, can be used to
- conf.times
optional vector of times at which to place a
confidence bar on the curve(s). If present, these will be used
instead of confidence bands.
- conf.cap
width of the horizontal cap on top of the confidence
bars; only used if conf.times is used. A value of 1 is the width of
the plot region.
- conf.offset
the offset for confidence bars, when there are
multiple curves on the plot. A value of 1 is the width of the plot
region. If this is a single number then each curve's bars are offset
by this amount from the prior curve's bars, if it is a vector the values are
used directly.
- conf.type
One of "plain", "log" (the default),
"log-log", "logit", or "none". Only
enough of the string to uniquely identify it is necessary.
The first option causes confidence intervals not to be
generated. The second causes the standard intervals
curve +- k *se(curve), where k is determined from
conf.int. The log option calculates intervals based on the
cumulative hazard or log(survival). The log-log option bases the
intervals on the log hazard or log(-log(survival)), and the
logit option on log(survival/(1-survival)).
- noplot
for multi-state models, curves with this label will not
be plotted. The default corresponds to an unspecified state.
- cumhaz
plot the cumulative hazard, rather than the survival or
probability in state.
