Hello R-community, It's been a week now that I am struggling with the implementation of a cox model in R. I have 80 cancer patients, so 80 time measurements and 80 relapse or no measurements (respective to censor, 1 if relapsed over the examined period, 0 if not). My microarray data contain around 18000 genes. So I have the expressions of 18000 genes in each of the 80 tumors (matrix

Dear friends: I'm interested to make a stacked plot of cumulative incidence. that's, the cuminc model is fitted [fit=cuminc(time, relapse)] and cumulative incidence is in place. I'd like to stack the cuminc plots (relapse of luekemia and death free from leukemia, for example) , then the constituent ratio of leukemia relapse and treatment related mortality is very clear. Can

Dear R users, I d like to assess the effect of "treatment" covariate on a disease relapse risk with the package cmprsk. However, the effect of this covariate on survival is time-dependent (assessed with cox.zph): no significant effect during the first year of follow-up, then after 1 year a favorable effect is observed on survival (step function might be the correct way to say that ?).

Hello, I have a problem regarding calculation of Cumulative Incidence Function. The event of interest is failure of bone-marrow transplantation, which may occur due to relapse or death in remission. The data set that I have consists of- lifetime variable, two indicator variables-one for relapse and one for death in remission, and the other variables are donor type (having 3 categories), disease

Hi Bert, I am sorry to bother you on weekend. I am still struggling on defining a correct function. I first defined the function RFS (see below), then run it by provide the two argument. m52.2cluster <-RFS(inputfile =allinfo_m52, N=2 ) I do not get error message, but no figure displays on screen. I do not know what is going on. Can you help me a little more on this issue? Thank you,

FAQ 7.22 You must print a ggplot object, for example with print(m52.2cluster) For the FAQ, run the line system.file("../../doc/FAQ") in R on your computer.

Dear list, I am trying to build a cox model and then perform ROC analysis in order to retrieve some genes that are correlated with breast cancer. When I calculate the hazard score taking into account different numbers of genes and their coefficients ( I am trying to find the pest predictor number of genes), I retrieve from around 1 values (for few genes included ) to size of e+80 values (for many

Hi Richard, Thank you so much!! I understand the problem now, I assign a name to the "ggsurvplot" object and then add print(fig) at bottom of function definition, now figure gets printed on screen. Ding # function to generate RFS curves RFS <- function( inputfile, N ) { cluster<- survfit(Surv(RFS_days2, OV_Had_a_Recurrence_CODE) ~ clusters, data =

That is certainly OK, but you can also just use print(ggsurvplot(...)) as your final statement. out <- RFS( ...) would then return the ggsurvplot object *and* graph it. Any good R tutorial or a web search will provide more details on function returns, which you might find useful. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and

Thank you, your suggestion is simpler and logically better. I had impression that the last object in a function gets returned, so I did not add the print function at the bottom line of the function definition. Returning an object and graph the object are different process, I am a beginner for writing R function and need to find a good guide source about writing R functions. If you know a good

Hi i'm a french medical student, i have some data that i import from excel. My colomn of the datafram are the localisations of metastasis. If there is a metatsasis there is the symbol "_". i want to exclude the row without metastasis wich represent the NA data. so, i wrote this mela is the data fram mela1=ifelse(mela[,c(11:12,14:21,23,24)]=="_",1,0) # selection of the

Hello R users, I am trying to run a cox model for the prediction of relapse of 80 cancer tumors, taking into account the expression of 17000 genes. The data are large and I retrieve an error: "Cannot allocate vector of 2.4 Mb". I increase the memory.limit to 4000 (which is the largest supported by my computer) but I still retrieve the error because of other big variables that I have in

I'm trying to categorize a continuous variable (yes, I know that's horrible, but I'm trying to reproduce some exercises from a textbook) and don't really know an efficient way to do this. I have a data frame that looks like: surv_time relapse sex log_WBC rx 1 35 0 1 1.45 0 2 34 0 1 1.47 0 3 32 0 1 2.20 0 4 32

Dear list, I am trying to perform a significance analysis of a microarray experiment with survival data using the {samr} package. I have a matrix containing my data which has 17816 rows corresponding to genes, and 286 columns corresponding to samples. The name of this matrix is data.matrix2. Some of the first values of this matrix are: data.matrix2[1:3,1:5] GSM36777 GSM36778 GSM36779

For any given pre-specified gene or short list of genes, yes the Cox model works fine. Two important caveats: 1. Remeber the rule of thumb for a Cox model of 20 events per variable (not n=20). Many microarray studies will have very marginal sample size. 2. If you are looking at many genes then a completely different strategy is required. There is a large and growing literature; I like Newton

Hello everyone, I am a very new user of R and I have a query about the cuminc function in the package cmprsk. In particular I would like to verify that I am interpreting the output correctly when we have a stratification variable. Hypothetical example: group : fair hair, dark hair fstatus: 1=Relapse, 2=TRM, 0=censored strata: sex (M or F) Our data would be split into: Fair, male,

Hi, Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me, I am very stumped on this problem... I use R every day and consider myself a confident user, but this seems to be an elementary problem.. Outline of problem: I am analysing the results of a study on protein expression in cancer tissues. I have raw intensities from 2 different types of cancer and normal tissue, which can be taken from several
