I am exploring the use of the survreg function in R to analyze my current experiment.

Does anyone know what the "Value" column in the output of the function stands for?

  • $\begingroup$ If you mean the column headed "Value" as returned by a call to summary, then it is a priori a regression coefficient (for your survival model). Its interpretation depends on the fitted distribution. $\endgroup$

The value column simply gives the values for the coefficient estimates.
