Performing Cox Proportional Hazards Model with Interaction Effects in R Using Survival Package
The code used to perform a Cox Proportional Hazards Model with interaction effects is shown. # Load necessary libraries library(survival) # Create a sample dataset (dt) for demonstration purposes set.seed(123) dt <- data.frame( Time = rweibull(100, shape = 2, scale = 1), Status = rep(c("Survived", "Dead"), each = 50), Sex = sample(c("M", "F"), size = 100, replace = TRUE), Age = runif(n = 100, min = 20, max = 80) ) # Fit the model using the coxph function dt$Survived <- ifelse(dt$Status == "Dead", 1, 0) model <- coxph(Surv(Time ~ Sex + Age + Level1 * Level2, data = dt)) # Print the results of the model print(model) # Alternatively, use the crossing formula operator (*) model_crossing <- coxph(Surv(Time ~ Sex + Age + Level1 * Level2 , data = dt)) print(model_crossing) The coxph function from the survival package is used to fit a Cox Proportional Hazards Model.
