Good morning,

I ran a simple survival analysis for membership in a club using

       survfit(Surv(tenure, expired) ~ book.flag, data = x)

for people who did and did not access online books. Expired is a dummy if their membership expired (expired = 0). I'd like to calculate the odds of surviving 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years if they access a book vs. not accessing. Can this be done? If so, how? I'd like to show that the odds are significantly higher for book accessers - the plot already showed this, but I know my client will ask for something like the odds.

Thanks,

Walt Paczkowski
