Thank you ! So to be absolutely sure, the C-index in my case is 0.5 * ( 0.3634 + 1 ) = 0.6817 right ? If the above calculation is correct then why do I get the following : rcorr.cens( predict(fit), Surv( GBSG$rfst, GBSG$cens ) )[ "C Index" ] C Index 0.3115156 ( I am aware that is a re

[R] C-index : typical values

2005-09-02 Thread Adaikalavan Ramasamy
I am doing some coxPH model fitting and would like to have some idea about how good the fits are. Someone suggested to use Frank Harrell's C-index measure. As I understand it, a C-index > 0.5 indicates a useful model. I am probably making an error here because I am getting values less than 0.5 on
