hi

sorry if this has been discussed before, but I'm wondering why the scaled
Schoenfeld residuals do not follow the defining formula for obtaining them
from the ordinary Schoenfeld residuals, but are instead offset by the
estimated parameter values.


Because their purpose in life is to be smoothed against time to get an estimate 
of the parameter as a function of time (plot.cox.zph).
