Rank-hazard plot interpretation
Datamethods Discussion Forum [Unofficial]

Hi Prof Harrell,
What is your rationale for using a non-equally spaced y-axis in the rank hazard plot, and how do you address the concern that this may introduce visual distortion?
Many thanks in advance.
The two figures below are for comparison: one was generated using the rankhazardplot function, and the other was produced using my code with an equally spaced y-axis, based on the same underlying approach.
