\alias{plot.cox.zph}
\title{
Graphical Test of Proportional Hazards
}
\description{
Displays a graph of the scaled Schoenfeld residuals, along with a smooth curve.
}
\usage{
\method{plot}{cox.zph}(x, resid=TRUE, se=TRUE, df=4, nsmo=40, var, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{
result of the \code{cox.zph} function.
}
\item{resid}{
a logical value, if \code{TRUE} the residuals are included on the plot, as well as the smooth fit.
}
\item{se}{
a logical value, if \code{TRUE}, confidence bands at two standard errors
will be added.
}
\item{df}{
the degrees of freedom for the fitted natural spline, \code{df=2} leads
to a linear fit.
}
\item{nsmo}{
number of points used to plot the fitted spline.
}
\item{var}{
the set of variables for which plots are desired.  By default, plots are
produced in turn for each variable of a model.  Selection of a single variable
allows other features to be added to the plot, e.g., a horizontal line at
zero or a main title.


This has been superseded by a subscripting method; see the example below.
}
\item{...}{
additional arguments passed to the \code{plot} function.
}}
\section{Side Effects}{
a plot is produced on the current graphics device.

plot(temp[5])     # New way with subscripting
abline(0, 0, lty=3)
# Add the linear fit as well 
abline(lm(temp$y[,5] ~ temp$x)$coefficients, lty=4, col=3)
