similar to: Mixture of survivals or cure models

Dear All, I am desperately trying to find any R package that fits a mixture survival models also know as a cure models. These are survival models where the survival function is improper, which also means that a fraction of subjects are expected not to expreience the event. A huge literature has been developed for these type of models but I couldn't find any R package that fits them.

Dear R-users: Recently I found my simulation run into an apparently infinite loop. After a few days of tracing and chasing, I believe it is caused by the built-in unif_rand() and exp_rand() functions: unif_rand() can produce a value of 0 which causes the following part of exp_rand() running into an infinity loop u = unif_rand(); for (;;) { u += u; if (u > 1.0) break;

Dear List, Does anyone know when will be available Peter Dalgaard's book: "Introductory Statistics with R" ?. According to Amazon: "This item will be published on August 15, 2002", but it continues unpublised. Thanks, Carlos Ortega. _______________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Hi, Suppose that I have a list where each component is a list of two matrices. I also have a vector of weights. How can I collapse my list of lists into a single list of two matrices where each matrix in the result is the weighted sum of the corresponding matrices. I could use a loop but this is a nested calculation so I was hoping there is a more efficient way to do this. To help clarify,

This came on S-news The more direct test being sapply(c(a=1,b=2), names) Problem: R ("all" versions) behaves the same as S+5.1, which is wrong IMO. {since some might disagree, I didn't yet post to R-bugs ..} ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 23:14:57 -0230 From: "Paul Y.

Hi R users, I am still a relatively new R user migrated from S+. I wonder in R how do you handle one difference between R and S+. S+ saves objects as different files in .Data directory while R saves all objects in a big file .RData. In S+, I can start two S+ sessions from the same directory and work simultaneously as long as new objects in the two sessions are not in the same names. This is

Hi, I have a problem with the time formatting in R. I have entered time in the format "MM:SS.xyz" and R has automatically classified this as a factor, but I need it numerically. However when I use as.numeric() it gives me totally different numbers. Is there any way I can tell R to read thes input as a number? Thank you very much [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear S-PLUS/R users: Do you know any default function or a user contributed function that can draw an ellipse with given axes and origin? Thanks for any help.

Dear all: I fitted "Observed" into a distribution as frequency. The predicted values are calculated as "predicted" for frequency. bins is "x". I plot observed, predicted against x in a graph. the commond is here.

Hello, I recently updated LLVM from version 6.0.0 to 10.0.0. I see the following issue when I compile an application only with code coverage compiler options. Thes issue does not appear in any other build type. *...:(__llvm_prf_data[__profv__**ZNK4llvm3cfg6UpdateIPNS_**10BasicBlockEE4dumpEv]+0x18): **undefined reference to `llvm::cfg::Update<llvm::**BasicBlock*>::dump() const'* I see

Hello list, I am trying to apply the paired t.test between diseased and not diseased patients to identify genes that are more expressed in the one situation under the other. In order to retrieve the genes that are more expressed in the positive disease state I do: p.values<-c() for(i in 1:length(Significant[,1])){ p.values[i]<-try(t.test(positive[i,],negative[i,],alternative

Dear all, I am new R user and I am sure that this question has been asked quite often and I have also googled it and read about it! I understood that in order to read excel sheet into R you need to open it and saved it as csv or text, is this true? or you can use read.delim2 and read.csv2 to do this without the following error > dat <- read.csv2(file="C:\\Dokumente und

Sometime in Feb, yum updated something to do with ca-bundle. I didn't notice at the time, but it put these two files on my machine: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt.rpmnew and /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt.rpmnew Both of those on the existing system are symbolic links ca-bundle.trust.crt -> /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/openssl/ca-bundle-trust.crt and ca-bundle.crt ->

Hello. I tried to get the trip count of a loop with Scalar evolution. I got inspired from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13834364/how-to-get-loop-bounds-in-llvm . However the analysis described there doesn't work well for the second inner loop of thes function below (although if we declare Bcols a short it works well): void MatMul(int Arows, int Acols, int Brows, int

Hello all, Today after a reboot of my server, I encountered the following error: > # xm console hackbloc > xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory I have not changed anything and have never run into this problem before. I have no idea what to do here, I mounted the image and checked that /dev/tty* were still there and they are. xm show lists the server as

After an upgrade of debian/stable-> testing, samba got upgraded from 2.x to 3.0.2a. And now my Win98 clients can't connect. To make matters worse nothing is showing in the logs when they try to connect. W2k connects fine and there is logging that they connect and disconnect from shares. I double checked encrypted/plaintext passwords on the win98 box, but neither mode helps. Any help

HI! I?ve 3 vectors of different length (a,b,c) and want to arrange them in a matrix a,b,c as rows and the figures of these vectors in the columns (with that matrix i want to calculate a distance between thes vectors - vegan - vegdist - horn). Is there a possibilty to create such a matrix and to fill up the missing fields with NA?s automatically???? Thanx marten winter -- *Marten Winter*

So, a friend pointed me to the patch for sock.c:533, and that patch went a LONG way in fixing the streaming problems I've been experiencing (on solaris 8/sparc.) Thanks so much for that! Now, I think that *sending* the stream is now squared away, but I think one problem remains on the receiving end of things. I use the perl streamcast utility to stream my playlists, and tracks sound great.

You got to be kidding about 53 calls being recorded at sametime is an issue. I have done at least twice as many on my dual xeon 3.4Ghz system and had no problem as clients like to record every call that goes through the system. Then again, in my system, the in and out channels are mixed first before they are written to the disk. ________________________________ From:
