can plot.variable plot the partial dependence of survival for different stage?

[wymin576]

hello,
I know the function plot.variable can give partial dependence plots. My question is: Can the function plot.variable give the partial dependence of survival for different stages, such as one-year, five-year, and ten-year?
Any help will be appreciated!

Yes, it is possible to do that.

Here's an illustration using the veteran data with survival partial effects on the vertical axis for 200, 400, 1000 days.

data(veteran, package = "randomForestSRC")
o <- rfsrc(Surv(time,status)~., veteran)
plot.variable(o, surv.type = "surv", xvar.names="karno", time = 200)
plot.variable(o, surv.type = "surv", xvar.names="karno", time = 400)
plot.variable(o, surv.type = "surv", xvar.names="karno", time = 1000)
