Hello, I try to set up namespaces for packages. It is fine for several of them, except one whose compilation fails (under Windows XP & R 2.0.0): ---------- Making package svViews ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 21 Execution halted make[2]: *** [nmspace] Error 1 make[1]: ***

I will be giving a course in survival analysis using R (of course!) for people who know nothing about the subject (including R), but know basic statistics. I'm looking for a suitable course book. Therneau & Grambsch (2000) is an excellent book, but too much for this course. I need somthing more elementary. I have a vague memory saying that such books exist, but I cannot find any for the

The title says it all really; I am looking for a function along the lines of cutpt.coxph as described in "Survival Analysis Using S" (Tableman and Kim), Chapter 6. As may be guessed, the function optimises the cutpoint of a continuous variable for cox proportional hazard modelling. I can't find it, or any similar function, on CRAN. Alternatively, perhaps there is a way of extracting the likelihoods from the output of coxph. Rachel

Is there an implementation of the Cox-Snell residuals / Nelson-Aalen plot for goodness of fit? Or otherwise is there an appropriate Goodness of Fit diagnostic? Thanks Murray -- Murray Pung Statistician, Datapharm Australia Pty Ltd 0404 273 283 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...ot; in R - like you did some years ago. How have you solved the problem? Have you found it or a similar function? thank you, Sincerely, Friederike "The title says it all really; I am looking for a function along the lines of cutpt.coxph as described in "Survival Analysis Using S" (Tableman and Kim), Chapter 6.

Full_Name: Andrew Manners Version: 2.5.1 OS: windows xp prof 2003 Submission from: (NULL) (130.102.0.177) To whom it may concern, I'm trying to get an ANOVA table within survreg but it always produces NA's in the p-value, regardless of the data set. The data set below comes from Tableman and Kim 2004. I had the same problem on a number of my own data sets. I searched the R site for others that have had this problem and it appears that at least one has: Ronaldo Reis Junior <chrysopa> wrote a couple of messages but there were never replies (search using "survreg" and...
