Arguments

x

Y.col

column number, or column name, of longitudinal variable to be plotted. Defaults to Y.col = NA, plotting all longitudinal variables.

type

the type of line to be plotted, see plot for further details.

xlab

a title for the x-axis, see title.

heart.long <- heart.valve[, c(1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)]
heart.jd <- jointdata(longitudinal = heart.long, 
                      survival = heart.surv,
                      id.col = "num",
                      time.col = "time")
