I run a Cox Regression and afterwards, I predicted the Hazard Ratio (HR) for the predictor values 1 to 10. My data looks something like this: mydata <- data.frame(values= 1:11, hr_pred= c(.2, .4, .5, .6, .9, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.8, 2.1, 2.2)) The reference predictor value is 6, i.e. this is the predictor value where HR is 1. I want the reference to be 5. Can I simply divide all the HR values by the HR value of predictor= 5 to achieve that? my approach is like this: new_ref_value <- 5 mydata$hr_new_ref <- mydata$hr/ mydata$hr[mydata$values == new_ref_value] mydata values hr_pred hr_new_ref 1 1 0.2 0.2222222 2 2 0.4 0.4444444 3 3 0.5 0.5555556 4 4 0.6 0.6666667 5 5 0.9 1.0000000 6 6 1.0 1.1111111 7 7 1.2 1.3333333 8 8 1.4 1.5555556 9 9 1.8 2.0000000 10 10 2.1 2.3333333 11 11 2.2 2.4444444 Is this the right way to do it?
