Dear R-help, I'm very sorry to ask 2 questions in a week. I am using the package 'crr' and it does exactly what I need it to when I use the dataset a. However, when I use dataset b I get the following error message: Error in drop(.Call("La_dgesv", a, as.matrix(b), tol, PACKAGE = "base")) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number =

'make check-all' for current R has been showing this error in the middle for a few months now - any thought on fixing this? I think cmprsk should be either included in the recommended bundle, or the survival vignette to not depend on it. Having 'make check-all' showing glaring ERROR's for a few months seems to defeat the purpose of doing any checking at all via 'make

Hello, I have a question regarding competing risk regression using cmprsk package (function crr()). I am using R2.9.1. How can I do to assess the effect of qualitative predictor (gg) with more than two categories (a,b,c) categorie c is the reference category. See above results, gg is considered like a ordered predictor ! Thank you for your help Jan > # simulated data to test > set.seed(10)

Dear R users, I d like to assess the effect of "treatment" covariate on a disease relapse risk with the package cmprsk. However, the effect of this covariate on survival is time-dependent (assessed with cox.zph): no significant effect during the first year of follow-up, then after 1 year a favorable effect is observed on survival (step function might be the correct way to say that ?).

Dear all, I am trying to use the crr function in the cmprsk package version 2.2 to analyse 198 observations.I have receive the error in solve.default. Can anyone give me some insights into where the problem is? Thanks here is my script : cov=cbind(x1,x2) z<-crr(ftime,fstatus,cov)) and data file: x1 x2 fstatus ftime 0 .02 1 263 0 .03 1 113 0 .03 1 523

Hi All, I am running a scatter plot and trying to add a best fit line. I use an abline function, but get no line drawn over the points. I also get no error. I arm using V 2.10.0 on Windows 7. Here is my code, including the SAS transport file import: require (foreign) require (chron) require (Hmisc) require (lattice) clin <- sasxport.get("y:\\temp\\subset.xpt") attach(clin)

Dear R-help list members, I am trying to create my own axes when plotting a cumulative incidence curve using the plot.cuminc function in the CMPRSK library. The default x-axis places tick marks and labels at 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 (my data has an upper limit of 96), whereas I want them at my own specified locations. Here is my example code: library(cmprsk) attach(MYDATA) MYCUMINC <-

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can explain to me if cumulative incidence (CI) is just "1 minus kaplan-Meier survival"? Under what circumstance, you should use cumulative incidence vs KM survival? If the relationship is just CI = 1-survival, then what difference it makes to use one vs. the other? And in R how I can draw a cumulative incidence plot. I know I can make a Kaplan-Meier

Hi, I need to fit model using crr, however my covariate is categorical with 3 levels. I use crr(time,status,agesplit,failcode=1,cencode=0) where agesplit is defined as <20,21-29,>30 years, so it takes 0, 1 or 2 for each patient. I hoped to get estimated coefficients for the levels 1 and 2 w.r.t level 0 as in coxph. But, I didn't. Could someone please help me to use crr in this

Dear R-users Has anybody implemented a function/package that will compute an individual's risk of an event in the presence of competing risks, adjusted for the individual's covariates? The only thing that seems to come close is the cuminc function from cmprsk package, but I would like to adjust for more than one covariate (it allows you to stratify by a single grouping vector). Any

Hola a todos, Me gustaria saber si en un modelo mixto se puede usar el tamaño de muestra como peso o es incorrecto hacerlo. Por ejemplo en el comando 'lmer' del paquete lme4 hay una opcion 'weights' (igual que en 'lm' de stats). Si tengo datos de una medida (por ejemplo el peso) de 10 especies de aves (rango, de 50 a 3000 datos segun la especie) ¿puedo usar esta n en

I am trying to use the crr function in the cmprsk package to analyze a large patient dataset (45000 +), The model has 100 + covariates and 5 competing risks. I am finding that R seems to get bogged down and even if I let it run for several hours I don't get anything back. Am I expecting too much, or are there ways to speed up the process? Any help is appreciated. Best, Spencer

Hi all, I am aware that crr lacks the "friendly" command structure of functions such as cph. All is clear to me about including covariates until I want to include a stratification term in the competing risk framework (no nice strat command). I am still a bit of a novice in R - I am looking for an example to help me with this, but can't seem to find one. Any advice appreciated (no

Dear everyone, My question involves the use of the survival object. We can have Surv(time,time2,event, type=, origin = 0) (1) As detailed on p.65 of: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/survival/survival.pdf My data (used in my study) is 'right censored' i.e. my variable corresponding to 'event' indicates whether a person is alive (0) or dead (1) at date last seen

Dear R users I would like to calculate the Cumulative incidence for an event adjusting for competing risks and adjusting for covariates. One way to do this in R is to use the cmprsk package, function crr. This uses the Fine & Gray regression model. However, a simpler and more classical approach would be to implement the Kalbfleisch & Prentice method (1980, p 169), where one fits cause

Hi, I posted this question on stats.stackexchange.com 3 days ago but the answer didn't really address my question concerning the speed in competing risk regression. I hope you don't mind me asking it in this forum: I?m doing a registry based study with almost 200 000 observations and I want to perform a competing risk analysis. My problem is that the crr() in the cmprsk package is

Dear Thomas, I want to use evaluate effect of Age using restricted cubic form in the FGR function as Fgr.crr <- FGR(Hist(time, event) ~ rcs(Age_years), data=dat) It provides error.
