Parametric Shared Frailty Models: Plot

Plot

Function Plots

An option to control the function plots.

Type

Survival: Creates the plot for the unconditional survival functions.
Hazard: Creates the plot for the unconditional hazard functions.
Density: Creates a plot for the density functions.

Number of points to display

Specifies the number of function points between 1 and 200. The default setting is 100.

Covariate Values for Plot

An option to specify the user-supplied values and assign them to the predictors. By default, the designated plots will be created at the Mean of each covariate in effect. If specified, the designated plots will be created based on the pattern's setting. In the presence of any duplicated variables, the one specified first would be recognized and the rest would be ignored. A valid variable must be contained in a model effect. For a covariate, the user-supplied value must be numeric. The omission of a variable in effect indicates that the Mean would be used by default for the covariate. If an invalid value is assigned to a variable, the pattern requested will not be plotted.

Factor Values for Plot

An option to specify the user-supplied values and assign them to the predictors. By default, the designated plots will be created at the category frequency of each factor in effect. If specified, the designated plots will be created based on the pattern's setting. In the presence of any duplicated variables, the one specified first would be recognized and the rest would be ignored. A valid variable must be contained in a model effect. The omission of a variable in effect indicates that the category frequency would be used by default for the factor. If an invalid value is assigned to a variable, the pattern requested will not be plotted.

Separate lines for: An option to specify a categorical variable by which the line plots will be drawn.
Maximum number of lines in a chart: Specifies the maximum number of the lines in a chart if Separate lines for is specified. The default setting is 10.
