Dear R users, I'd like to announce the RcmdrPlugin.survival package, which has just been made available on CRAN. The package provides an R Commander plug-in for the survival package, with dialogs for Cox models, parametric survival regression models, estimation of survival curves, and testing for differences in survival curves, along with data-management facilities and a variety of tests, diagnostics and graphs. All of this is tightly integrated with the standard R Commander menus. As does the Rcmdr, the package takes advantage of the R facilities for translating messages into other languages. It comes with a translation into Brazilian Portuguese, courtesy of Marilia S? Carvalho of FIOCRUZ in Rio de Janeiro, whose suggestions during the development of the package were invaluable. Please contact me if you're interested in providing a translation into another language. Reports of bugs and other problems are welcome, as are suggestions for extending the package.
