similar to: announce: survival5 bug fix

A nearly complete port of the new survival5 package has been sent to CRAN and will soon be appearing on a mirror near you in the contrib/devel area. This new package, the successor to survival4, has a more stable likelihood maximiser for parametric survival models and incorporates penalised likelihoods for adding smoothing splines, ridge regression, and (approximately) frailties to survival

Dear R-Helpers: What other references are there on the capabilities of the survival5 package other than the help files and the chapter on survival analysis in every edition of Modern Applied Statistics with S? I'm thinking of something like "An Introduction to Survival Analysis in R" with worked examples that might complement or extend the chapter in MASS. Thanks, Spencer

I downloaded binary of survival5 for windows95 (also the splines, date). The function survsum shows up in content, has a help page, but the function itself is missing. Can we cut and paste the survsum from survival4 ? Mai Zhou P.S. I am not picking on R, not even complaining. I think R is great and I am try to contribute my (small) part to make it even better in way of bug report (or

Hello, I am new to R on Linux (and to LINUX), running a 1.9.1 on a Linux MDK10.0. When updating or installing different packages, I get messages like this (under), the package doesn't install. Can anyone help me? I know this is all to little information, but I don't know were to start. I think there is something wrong in how or were the C++ or fortran compilator is installed?? Thanks, Geir

I have installed R version 1 for windows and have installed the survival5 package in the library folder, but the base package only seems to partially acknowledge survival5's presence. How have I screwed up? The diagnostics are as follows... >library(survival5) ** no warning given.. seems OK ** >help(package=survival5) **this gives the contents of the package correctly,

A few of you have helpfully sent me references to WMF formats. There is also some code to _read_ it at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/libwmf.html However, the issue is to _write_ WMF on R under Unix. I am told (by someone who has tried) that the problem is the if you write a WMF file according to the published specs (which were once issued by Microsoft) you find that e.g. Word does not read

Hi, I have been trying to fit an un-penalised gam in mgcv (in order to get more reliable p-values for hypothesis testing), but I am struggling to get the model to fit sucessfully when I add in a te() interaction. The model I am trying to fit is: gam(count~ s(x1, bs = "ts", k = 4, fx = TRUE) + s(x2, bs = "ts", k = 4, fx = TRUE) + te(x2, x3, bs =

Dear all, in survival5, kidney data set, appears in help page: "survival5 does not reproduce the original analysis." What does it means? thanks in advance TCM -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hey all, I'm using the gam() function inside the mgcv package to fit a penalised spline to some data. However, I don't quite understand what exactly the intercept it includes by default is / how to interpret it. Ideally I'd like to understand what the intercept is in terms of the B-Spline and/or truncated power series basis representation. Thanks!

What is the likelyhood that major inexpensive webhosts like godaddy, bluehost, etc. will upgrade to RoR 1.1? Is this going to be like PHP 5 where it has to percolate for a year or more before it becomes widly available? Your thoughts? Along the same lines... is it possible to adopt some of the new improved Ajax / javascript capabilities without actually upgrading the ruby installation?

Dear all, Are there functions or packages in R that can handle interval-censored data? I have looked in various packages (such as survival5 or event), but it seems that only right-censored data can be analysed. More generally, are there methods to analyse both interval-censored observations and right-censored observations in the same data set? Thanks in advance. Emmanuel Paradis

hi I'm puzzled as to the relation between the REML score computed by gam and the formula (4) on p.4 here: http://opus.bath.ac.uk/22707/1/Wood_JRSSB_2011_73_1_3.pdf I'm ok with this for poisson, or for quasipoisson when phi=1. However, when phi differs from 1, I'm stuck. #simulate some data library(mgcv) set.seed(1) x1<-runif(500) x2<-rnorm(500)

Hello All. This is purely from a particular VLIW target back-end perspective. There it is possible to schedule an MI on to one of multiple execution pipes. This leads to a different instruction encoding per the pipe it is bound to, and need to percolate this information down. Would it be advisable to extend and use the "MachineInstr.Flags" field for this purpose? Right now this flag
