i am new to R and using the random forest package.  is there a way to specify

[R] randomSurvivalForest plotting

2009-01-26 Thread A Van Dyke

i would like to plot a subset of variables with the highest variable
importance measures (say the top 20) instead of plotting all of the
variables included in the analysis (~75).  i tried arguments that work to
restrict the number of variables displayed in the plot in randomForest as
follows:

plot(rsfCauc.out,sort=TRUE,n.var=min(30,nrow(rsfCauc.out$importance)),type=TRUE,class=NULL,scale=TRUE,main=deparse(substitute(rsfCauc.out)))

however, that code only resulted in the plot with all 75 variables.  

help would be much appreciated.  many thanks!

[R] error message when plotting survival curves

2008-10-20 Thread A Van Dyke

I am trying to plot survival curves using the following code as an example:

>rs1799964.coxph<-(coxph(Surv(sassurvmonths,status)~age+stage+rs1799964_TNFA,method="efron"))

>plot(rs1799964.coxph,lyt=c(1,3),xlab="Survival in Months",ylab="Proportion
Surviving")

I am gettingthe following error message:


>Error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : 
  'x' and 'y' lengths differ


Any input to debugging this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you
in advance.
