Hi R users. I have some problems with the package ?survMisc?. When I am loading it I am getting the following?> library(survMisc)Loading required package: survivalLoading required package: splinesLoading required package:?km.ciLoading required package: ggplot2Loading required package: data.tabledata.table 1.9.4? For help type: ?data.table*** NB: by=.EACHI is now explicit. See README to restore previous behaviour.Loading required package: gridExtraLoading required package: gridLoading required package: rpart?Attaching package: ?survMisc??The following objects are masked from ?package:stats?:???? AIC, BIC, median, quantile??? In the above output I noticed the line with the three stars (*). In order to restore the data.table in its previous behavior I tried to locate the README file but I couldn?t.?? I ignored that NB in the previous output and I continue to run the example given in the above mentioned package for the routine comp(). The commands and the output are given below.> ### 2 curves> data(kidney,package="KMsurv")> s1 <- survfit(Surv(time=time, event=delta) ~ type, data=kidney )> comp(s1)$tne?????? t? ???? ???n ???????? e?? n_type=1?? e_type=1?? n_type=2?? e_type=2?1:? 1.5??? 86???????? 2?????? 43??????????????? 1????????????????? 43??????????????? 1?2:? 3.5??? 80???????? 2?????? 40??????????????? 1????????????????? 40???????????? ???1?3:? 4.5??? 72???????? 4?????? 36??????????????? 2????????????????? 36??????????????? 2?4:? 5.5??? 66???????? 2?????? 33??????????????? 1????????????????? 33??????????????? 1?5:? 8.5??? 60???????? 4?????? 30??????????????? 2????????????????? 30???? ???????????2?6:? 9.5??? 54???????? 2?????? 27??????????????? 1????????????????? 27??????????????? 1?7: 10.5?? 50???????? 2?????? 25??????????????? 1????????????????? 25??????????????? 1?8: 11.5??? 44???????? 2?????? 22?????????????? 1????????????????? 22??????????????? 1?9: 15.5??? 28???????? 4?????? 14?????????????? 2????????????????? 14??????????????? 210: 16.5?? 26???????? 2?????? 13?????????????? 1????????????????? 13??????????????? 111: 18.5?? 22???????? 2?????? 11?????????????? 1??????????????? ??11??????????????? 112: 23.5???? 8???????? 2??????? 4???????????????? 1??????????????????? 4??????????????? 113: 26.5???? 6???????? 2??????? 3???????????????? 1??????????????????? 3??????????????? 1?$tests$tests$lrTests????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????ChiSq df pLog-rank????????????????????????? ??????????????????????0? 1 1Gehan-Breslow (mod~ Wilcoxon)? ? ? ? ? ? ?0? 1 1Tarone-Ware?????????????????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?0? 1 1Peto-Peto???????????????????? ????????????????????? ? ?0? 1 1Mod~ Peto-Peto (Andersen)???????? ? ? ? ? ? ?0? 1 1Flem~-Harr~ with p=1, q=1???????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?0? 1 1?$tests$supTests?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????Q pLog-rank??????????????????????? ??????????????????????? ?0 1Gehan-Breslow (mod~ Wilcoxon)? ? ? ? ? ? ??0 1Tarone-Ware???????????????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??0 1Peto-Peto?????????????????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??0 1Mod~ Peto-Peto (Andersen)?????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??0 1Renyi Flem~-Harr~ with p=1, q=1 ? ? ? ? ? ??0 1?Notice the zeros (0) that corresponds to the test statistics.
