Hi,
Is it normal to get intercept in the list of covariates in the output of 
survreg function with standard error, z, p.value etc? Does it mean that 
intercept was fitted with the covariates? Does Value column represent 
coefficients or some thing else?

Regards,

-------------------------------------------------
 tmp = survreg(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ ecog.ps + rx, ovarian, 
dist='weibull',scale=1)
> summary(tmp)

Call:
survreg(formula = Surv(futime, fustat) ~ ecog.ps + rx, data = ovarian, 
    dist = "weibull", scale = 1)
             Value Std. Error      z        p
(Intercept)  6.962      1.322  5.267 1.39e-07

rx           0.582      0.587  0.991 3.22e-01
