plotbe function

Breslow Estimator of the Cumulative Baseline Hazard Rate Function

Calculates the Breslow estimator of the cumulative baseline hazard rate functions.

plotbe(m, mpl, return.be = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

• m: estimated stratified coxph model.
• mpl: model parameter list.
• return.be: should a list containing the Breslow estimator values be returned?
• ...: further arguments and graphical parameters passed to plot, e.g. xlim for a re-specification of the shown time axis.

Details

The function is a specific wrapper function to the function basehaz from the R package survival.

Returns

Plot of the Breslow estimator for the transition-type specific cumulative baseline hazard rate functions.
