Hello I am plotting a survival tree in R
fit <- rpart(Surv(week, arrest) ~ fin + age)
summary(fit)
My tree works but when I get the output I don't understand what means the estimated rate ? Is it the estimated hazard rate ratio ?
Node number 1: 432 observations, complexity param=0.03809064
events=114, estimated rate=1 , mean deviance=1.165441
left son=2 (366 obs) right son=3 (66 obs)
Primary splits:
age < 19.5 to the right, improve=19.216100, (0 missing)
Node number 2: 366 observations, complexity param=0.01767241
events=81, estimated rate=0.820937 , mean deviance=1.074816
left son=4 (224 obs) right son=5 (142 obs)
Primary splits:
age < 23.5 to the right, improve=5.093023, (0 missing)
fin < 0.5 to the right, improve=4.795953, (0 missing)
Thanks for your help, Lucie.
