Re: [R] Cox Regression : Spline Coefficient Interpretation?

Your output is mangled beyond interpretation. However, when it comes to interpreting splines in general, you cannot easily convert the individual beta coefficients into, say HR by exponenitating them. The collection of beta coefficients describe the relationship between the continuous variable

Re: [R] Cox Regression : Spline Coefficient Interpretation?

Always reply to the list. I do not do private consulting. (I have cc'ed this to the list). I still think this belongs on stackexchange, not r-help. I think you need to read up on the mathematics of spline bases. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people kee

Re: [R] Cox Regression : Spline Coefficient Interpretation?

?? It is unclear to me what "How to interpret the result" means. Note that the survival package is very well documented and there is a vignette specifically on the topic of the use of "Spline terms in a Cox model." Have you studied it? If you want to discuss the statistical issues, e.g. of surviv

[R] Cox Regression : Spline Coefficient Interpretation?

Hi, I'm using a Cox-Regression to estimate hazard rates on prepayments. I'm using the "pspline" function to face non-linearity, but I have no clue how to interpret the result. Unfortunately I did not find enough information on the "pspline" function wether in the survival package nor using google
