Dear list: I have tried demography package in my Ubuntu(10.04). What I interested in was lifetable analysis. Chiang(1984)'s reference have been copied to steeper my learning curve. step by step, the example presented by the textbook also have been examined. In the course I find that the paramter "fraction of last age intervl of life" could not be take as a option in the module

Dear all, in the past I have been able to access websites with data directly. For example the following code works nicely mydata <- read.table("http://www.lifetable.de/data/MPIDR/POL_2004.txt", header=TRUE) But what happens if I need a username and password (a different site)? How do I do that? Or is it not possible to this in R? I tried something like this mydata.frame <-

Hello, I have a question about the function lifetab in package KMsurv. The description of the output value surv says "the estimated survival function at the start of the intervals". Are these estimates the ones calculated via Kaplan-Meier probability of survival ? Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context:

Please pardon the simplicity of this question of biological nature. I'm trying to calculate a statistic, px, the proportion of a cohort that survives through the interval x:x+1. I have the vector from which the calc is to be made but I can't figure out how to tell R to take the current value and divide it by the next value. The formula is P0=L1/LO The following is an example of the

Dear all, I am having a (really) hard time getting pyears to work together with a ratetable to give me the number of expected events (deaths). I have the following data: dos, date of surgery, as.Date dof, date of last follow-up, as.Date dos, date of surgery, as.Date sex, gender, as.factor (female,male) ev, event(death), 0= censored at time point dof, 1=death at time point dof Could someone

I read through Harrington and Fleming (1982) but it is beyond my statistical comprehension. I have survival data for insects that have a very finite expiration date. I'm trying to test for differences in survival distributions between different groups. I understand that the medical field is most often dealing with censored data and that survival analysis, at least in the package survival,
