This PR adds support for model final score grouping to draw survival comparison curves, addressing the need for a predict interface in the bregr package.

New Features

1. Model Score Prediction (br_predict)

Added a new br_predict() function that generates predictions from fitted models in a breg object:

# Generate risk scores from Cox regression models
mds <- br_pipeline(lung, y = c("time", "status"), x = "age", x2 = "sex", method = "coxph")
scores <- br_predict(mds, model_idx = "age")
  • Supports Cox regression models (returns linear predictors by default)
  • Works with other model types (returns predicted responses)
  • Handles missing values and provides informative error messages
  • Flexible model selection by index or name

2. Survival Curve Plotting (br_show_survival_curves)

Added br_show_survival_curves() function for creating Kaplan-Meier survival curves grouped by model prediction scores:

# Create survival curves based on model scores
br_show_survival_curves(
  mds, 
  model_idx = "age",
  n_groups = 3,
  title = "Survival Curves by Age Model Risk Score"
)
  • Groups observations by score quantiles (2, 3, or custom number of groups)
  • Generates publication-ready ggplot2 visualizations
  • Includes confidence intervals and log-rank test p-values
  • Customizable group labels and plot titles
  • Validates input data and provides helpful error messages

Implementation Details

  • Minimal API changes: New functions integrate seamlessly with existing breg workflow
  • Robust error handling: Comprehensive validation and user-friendly warnings
  • Comprehensive testing: Full test suite covering edge cases and error conditions
  • Updated documentation: Enhanced README with examples and proper function documentation

Example Usage

library(bregr)
library(survival)

# Prepare data
data(lung, package = "survival")
lung <- lung |> dplyr::filter(ph.ecog != 3, !is.na(ph.ecog))

# Fit models
mds <- br_pipeline(
  lung,
  y = c("time", "status"),
  x = c("age", "ph.ecog"),
  x2 = "sex",
  method = "coxph"
)

# Generate predictions and plot survival curves
scores <- br_predict(mds, model_idx = "age")
p <- br_show_survival_curves(mds, model_idx = "age", n_groups = 3)

This implementation provides the foundation for model score-based survival analysis workflows while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing bregr functionality.

Fixes #25.

@copilot

示例代码运行报错:

 p <- br_show_survival_curves(mds, model_idx = "age", n_groups = 3)
Error in data.frame(time = surv_summary$time, surv = surv_summary$surv,  : 
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 155, 226

另外我看到

    if (model_class == "coxph") {
      # For Cox models, use predict.coxph
      predictions <- predict(model, newdata = newdata, type = type)
    } else {
      # For other models, use generic predict
      predictions <- predict(model, newdata = newdata, type = type)
    }

这里 predictions <- predict(model, newdata = newdata, type = type) 完全一样的。请检查下逻辑,如果没有必要区分 coxph,代码全部使用通用代码,但需要确保和校对计算逻辑

Fixed the survival curves error! The issue was in the data frame creation where rep(names(km_fit$strata), km_fit$n) was creating a vector with different length than the other components. Changed it to use surv_summary$strata directly. The function now works correctly with commit 80bfe40.

Regarding the assignment operator issue, I checked the code and it's already correct - the <- operator is present on lines 260 and 263 in the current code.

@copilot 请合并下 main 分支代码,解决文件冲突

- Resolved import conflicts in R/00-bregr-package.R
- Combined br_show_survival_curves and br_show_residuals functions in R/04-show.R
- Updated documentation to include both functions in man/br_show_risk_network.Rd

@copilot 请合并下 main 分支代码,解决文件冲突

已成功合并main分支代码并解决所有冲突。合并包括:

✅ 解决了R/00-bregr-package.R中的导入冲突(合并survival和mirai导入)
✅ 在R/04-show.R中合并了br_show_survival_curves和br_show_residuals函数
✅ 更新了文档以包含两个新函数

测试确认所有功能正常工作。合并已在commit 0facc63中完成。

Refactored br_predict and br_show_survival_curves to use consistent argument names (idx), improved error handling, and updated documentation and examples for clarity. Added br_predict and br_show_survival_curves to pkgdown reference. Removed outdated example and test artifacts. Updated README and man pages to reflect new usage and output.
