similar to: stratified Wilcoxon available?

Hello, I have been informed that there is no R package for the stratified Wilcoxon's rank sum test (Van Elteren's test) with the locally best weights. I need to use the alternative test to a clinical endpoint where the distribution approximate normal distribution, and compare to the regular ANOVA. I have been directed to use SAS with PROC FREQ with the SCORES=modridit option and CMH2

Dear All, reposting, because I did not find a solution, maybe someone could check the example below. It's taken from the help page of survdiff. Executing it, gives the error "Error in floor(temp) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function" best regards, Heinz library(survival) ## Example from help page of survdiff ## Expected survival for heart transplant patients based

Good morning, Sorry to trouble the list. I have a problem I hope to seek your advice on. Essentially, I am trying to 'validate' a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model built in a training set, by testing it on an external test set. I have performed a survfit using the Cox model to predict survival for the test set, and obtained individual predictions for survival time, with

>Hello, I am hoping for assistance in regards to examining the contribution of stratified variables in a cox regression. A previous post by Terry Therneau noted that "That is the point of a strata; you are declaring a variable to NOT be proportional hazards, and thus there is no single "hazard ratio" that describes it". Given this purpose of stratification, in the

I read through Harrington and Fleming (1982) but it is beyond my statistical comprehension. I have survival data for insects that have a very finite expiration date. I'm trying to test for differences in survival distributions between different groups. I understand that the medical field is most often dealing with censored data and that survival analysis, at least in the package survival,

Hello, I am using Dr. Harrell's design package to make a nomogram. I was able to make a beautiful one without stratifying, however, I will need to stratify to meet PH assumptions. This is where I go wrong, but I'm not sure where. Non-Stratified Nomogram:

Hi I have a problem with this error, I have searched the archives and found previous discussion about this, can I cannot understand how the explanations apply to what I am trying to do. I am trying to do Log_rank Survival analysis, I have included tables and str command, is it a factor/integer problem? If so how do I correct this, as all my attempt to recode the data have failed. >

dear all, I would like to know whether survdiff and survReg function in the survival package work for left-truncated and right-censored data. If not, what other functions can i use to make comparison between two survival curves with LTRC data. thanks for any help given sing yee

Using R version 1.8.1 for Windows, I obtain an error message using the following code. The data frame was constructed in the counting process style, where V1 is the start time, V2 is the stop time, and V3 is the censoring indicator. There are no zero-length time intervals. Variable V4 is the stratification factor (gender: F,M). S<-Surv(V1,V2,V3) fit<-survfit(S ~ V4,data=test.dat)

R Folk: Please forgive what I'm sure is a fairly na?ve question; I hope it's clear. A colleague and I have been doing a really simple one-off survival analysis, but this is an area with which we are not very familiar, we just happen to have gathered some data that needs this type of analysis. We've done quite a bit of reading, but answers escape us, even though the question below

I have a dataset which for the sake of simplicity has two endpoints. We would like to test if two different end-points have the same eventual meaning. To try and take an example that people might understand better: Lets assume we had a group of subjects who all received a treatment. The could stop treatment for any reason (side effects, treatment stops working etc). Getting that data is very

ExpeRts, I'm trying to compare three survival curves using the function "survdiff" in the survival package. Following is my code and corresponding error message. > survdiff(Surv(st_months, status) ~ strata(BOR), data=mydata) Error in survdiff(Surv(st_months, status) ~ strata(BOR), data = mydata) : No groups to test When I check the "strata" of the variable. I get .

Hello, I am analyzing the results of a survey of the student body on the use of certain technologies. The student body was divided in strata according to two criteria, college and user class. The resulting 24 strata were sampled. Subjects filled out a survey with a number of questions, most of them of the yes-no variety. I created a data.frame with the results for the survey. One row for

Dear experts, I am asking for help with a question regarding to stratified bootstrap. My dataset is a longitudinal dataset (3 measurements per person at year 1, 4 and 7) composed of multiple clinic centers and multiple participants within each clinic. It has missing values. I want to do a bootstrap to find the standard errors and confidence intervals for my variance components. My model is a

Hi, I'm trying to run a permutation test on paired samples. First I tried the package "exactRankTests": require("exactRankTests") x <- c(1.83,0.50,1.62,2.48,1.68,1.88,1.55,3.06,1.30) y <- c(0.878,0.647,0.598,2.05,1.06,1.29,1.06,3.14,1.29) wilcox.test(x,y,paired = TRUE,alternative = "greater") perm.test(y,x,paired = TRUE,exact = TRUE,alternative =

Hi Does anyone know if there is a function like survdiff which can also handle left-truncated and right-censored data? When I use it on left-truncated and right-censored data I get an error message saying Right censored data only. Many thanks Rajen [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I have a distribution, and take a sample of it. Then I compare that sample with the mean of the population like here in "Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction": > wilcox.test(Sample,mu=mean(All), alt="two.sided") Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction data: AlphaNoteOnsetDists V = 63855, p-value = 0.0002093 alternative hypothesis:

Hi, I would like to compare the hazard functions of two samples using the Cox proportional hazards model. For sample 1 I have individual time-to- event data. For sample 2 I don't have individual data, but grouped data that allows to obtain a hazard function. I am wondering if there is an R function that allows to obtain a hazard ratio of the two hazard funtions (under the

Hi everyone!! I have dataset composed of a numbers of survival analyses. ( for batch survival analyses by using for-loop) . Here are code !! ####### dim(svsv) Num_t<-dim(svsv) Num<-Num_t[2] # These are predictors !! names=colnames(svsv) for (i in 1:Num ) { name_tt=names[i] survdiff(Surv(survival.m, survival) ~ names[i], data=svsv) fit.Group<-survfit(Surv(survival.m, survival) ~

Hello! A problem with special characters seemed to me to be a bug. I sent a mail to R-windows at r-project.org concerning the problem (see below). How can I find out, if this is considered as a bug or an error of myself? Which part of FAQs or documentation did I miss to find the answer? thanks in advance Heinz T??chler -------------------- copy of abovementioned mail ---------- to: R-windows
