I was wondering if someone familiar
with survival analysis can help me with
the following.
I would like to fit a Weibull curve,
that may be dependent on a covariate,
my dataframe "labdata" that has the
fields "cov", "time", and "censor". Do
I do the following?
wieb<-survreg(Surv(labdata$time,
labadata$censor)~labdata$cov,
dist="weibull")
This returns:
weib
Call:
survreg(formula = Surv(labdata$time,
labdata$censor) ~ labdata$cov,
dist = "weibull")
Coefficients:
(Intercept) labdata$cov
8.091955112 0.001552897
Scale= 0.7532474
Loglik(model)= -12633.6
Loglik(intercept only)= -12734.8
Chisq= 202.41 on 1 degrees of
freedom, p= 0
n= 5496
I am not quite sure how to use the
output. I see that it gives the Scale
parameter. How do I find the Shape
paramater as a function of the
covariate?
Thank you,
Steven
