Abstract: Arjas plots allow to check if a categorical covariate should be included in a proportional hazards model and if this covariate has proportional hazards. For each level a line is plotted. If the covariate does not need to be in the model then for each value a roughly 45° line through origin should be plotted. Otherwise Arjas plots will give curves which are approximately linear but with slope differing from 1. If a covariate has a nonproportional effect on the hazard rate then the curves will differ nonlinearly from 45° line. Assume an indicator variable having only two values 0 and 1, the curve for the level 1 should be concave if the hazard ratio is increasing in t whereas the curve for the level 0 should be convex.
