Newlabels.cmprsk {QHScrnomo}

Change the Predictor Labels for a Competing Risks Regression Model

Description

Uses the Newlabels function to change the labels predictors when constructing a nomogram.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cmprsk'
Newlabels(fit, labels, ...)

Arguments

fit

A model fit by crr.fit

labels

A character vector specifying the new labels for variables in a fit.

Other arguments for Newlabels

Details

To give new labels for all variables, you can specify labels of the form labels = c("Age in Years","Cholesterol"), where the list of new labels is assumed to be the length of all main effect-type variables in the fit and in their original order in the model formula. You may specify a named vector to give new labels in any order for a subset of the variables, e.g., labels = c(age = "Age in Years", chol = "Cholesterol").

Value

A new crr.fit object with adjusted labels
