I am trying to clear up all the "NOTE"s before a CRAN submission, but am a bit confused about this one.?? What is it complaining about -- that it doesn't like my name? ... * checking for file ?deming/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * this is package ?deming? version ?1.4-1? * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... [7s/18s] NOTE Maintainer: ?Terry Therneau <therneau.terry at mayo.edu>?

When I run R CMD check on the survival package I invariably get a note: ... * checking for file ?survival/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * this is package ?survival? version ?3.2-6? * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE Maintainer: ?Terry M Therneau <therneau.terry at mayo.edu>? ... This is sufficient for the auto-check process to return the following failure message: Dear maintainer,

I've created some Splus code for a microarray problem that - needed to be in C, to take advantage of some sparse matrix properties - uses a cholesky decompostion as part of the computation For the cholesky, I used the cholesky2 routine, which is a part of the survival library. It does just what I want and I'm familiar with it (after all, I wrote it). In Splus, this all works

Question: I am trying to impliment a function in R that we use quite regularly in Splus, and it fails due to a lack of the "terms.inner" function in R. The substitute is? Part question and part soapbox: Why remove terms.inner from R? It's little used, but rather innocuous. Mostly soapbox: I figured it was no big deal, as I originally discovered the use of terms.inner from

A few weeks ago I reported a problem with model.frame, whose root lay in a formula expression "....+ ratetable(x1=x1, x2=x2, ....x100=x100)" that was really long and caused model.frame to fail. Brian had some indefinite ideas on what might need to change in the base code to handle it. In survival_2.36-1 the bit of code that generated the offending expression has been changed (mostly

I cloned therneau/survival and the installation failed since there is no definition for exported function survfit(). A file seems to be missing - there is survfit0() and survfit0.R but, compared to CRAN, no survfit.R.

Dear Terry, Does fitting group + age:group instead of age*group solves your problem? Best regards, ir. Thierry Onkelinx Instituut voor natuur- en bosonderzoek / Research Institute for Nature and Forest team Biometrie & Kwaliteitszorg / team Biometrics & Quality Assurance Kliniekstraat 25 1070 Anderlecht Belgium To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more

I'd like to get interaction terms in a model to be in another form. Namely, suppose I had variables age and group, the latter a factor with levels A, B, C, with age * group in the model. What I would like are the variables "age:group=A", "age:group=B" and "age:group=C" (and group itself of course). The coefficients of the model will then be the age effect

I'm working on the next iteration of coxme. (Rather slowly during the summer). This is the most subtle code I've done in S, both mathematically and technically, and seems a perfect vehicle for the "literate programming" paradym of Knuth. The Sweave project is pointed at S output however, not source code. I would appreciate any pointers to an noweb type client that was

Martyn, No, that didn't work. One other thing in the mix (which I don't think is the issue) is that I call one of the C-entry points of expm. So the DESCRIPTION file imports expm, the NAMESPACE file imports expm, and the init.c file is #include "R.h" #include "R_ext/Rdynload.h" /* Interface to expm package. */ typedef enum {Ward_2, Ward_1, Ward_buggy_octave}

The survival package makes significant use of the "specials" argument of terms(), before calling model.frame; it is part of nearly every modeling function. The reason is that strata argments simply have to be handled differently than other things on the right hand side. Likewise for tt() and cluster(), though those are much less frequent. I now get "bug reports" from the

Hi list, I was trying to use "predict.coxph" to calculate martingale residuals on a test data, however, as pointed out before http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/06/13508.html predict(mycox1, newdata, type="expected") is not implemented yet. Dieter suggested to use 'cph' and 'predict.Design', but from my reading so far, I'm not sure they can

Hi everyone, We are looking for some data sets working with relative risk mortality. so, someone know where can I find the data.mgus dataset and the data.mgus? Using 1384 records from Minnesota. This data set are used in the : Robert A. Kyle, Terry M. Therneau, S. Vincent Rajkumar, Janice R. Offord, Dirk R. Larson, Matthew F. Plevak, and L. Joseph Melton III. A long-term study of prognosis in

Is there a way to include the compiled version of a vignette in the doc directory but mark it to NOT be rerun by CRAN??? I think I remember that this is possible, but have forgotton how.?? (It might even be a false memory.) Terry T. Background:? Beth Atkinson and I are splitting out many of the vignettes from the survival package into a separate package survivalVignettes.? There are a few

And remove the cast on the return value of R_GETCCallable. And check that your function is found before using it. #include <R.h> #include <Rinternals.h> #include <R_ext/Rdynload.h> void bdsmatrix_prod4(int nrow, int nblock, int *bsize, double *bmat, double *rmat, int nfrail, double *y) { DL_FUNC fun = NULL; if (fun==NULL)

This is likely yet another instance of round off error, but it caught me by surprise. tmt% R --vanilla (headers skipped, version 3.0.2 on Linux) > load('qtest.rda') > length(temp) [1] 3622 > max(temp) >= quantile(temp, .98) 98% FALSE I can send the file to anyone who would like to understand this more deeply. The top 3% of the vector is a single repeated value. Terry

A problem has been pointed out by a French user of the survival package and I'm looking for a pointer. > options(OutDec= ",") > fit <- survfit(Surv(1:6 /2) ~ 1) > fit$time [1] NA 1 NA 2 NA 3 A year or two ago some test cases that broke survfit were presented to me. The heart of the problem was numbers that were almost identical, where table(x) and unique(x) gave

First, as others have said please obey the mailing list rules and turn of First, as others have said please obey the mailing list rules and turn off html, not everyone uses an html email client. Here is your code, formatted and with line numbers added. I also fixed one error: "y" should be "status". 1. fit0 <- coxph(Surv(futime, status) ~ x1 + x2 + x3, data = data0) 2. p

I'm testing out a new version of coxme and R CMD check fails with "could not find function ranef" (or random.effects or fixef, or anything from nlme). The NAMESPACE file has the line below importFrom(nlme, ranef, random.effects, fixef, fixed.effects, VarCorr) and nlme is declared in the DESCRIPTION file as an import. I feel that I must be staring at some obvious (but
