[R] predicted survival curves from a Cox time dep model

2008-08-10 Thread phguardiol
Dear R users, is there a way to plot "predicted" curves from a Cox model with a time dependent covariates using "predict", in which other significant covariates are included with specific values ? I use cluster(id) in this time-dep. Cox model for rows belonging to the same patient, and this
