Hi there I want to test the expression of a subset of genes for correlation with patient survival. I found out that the coxph function is appropriate for doing this since it works with continuous variables such as Affy mRNA expression values. I applied the following code: cp <- coxph(Surv(t.rfs, !e.rfs) ~ ex, pData(eset.n0)) #t.rfs: time to relapse, status (0=alive,1=dead), ex: expression value (continuous) The results I get look sensible but I would appreciate any advice on the correctness and also any suggestions for any (better) alternative methods.
