|
|
|
Many of the vignettes have been moved to a separate survivalVignettes package.
|
|
There are 2 primary reasons. First, as a recommended package survival cannot
|
|
depend on any packages outside of base + recommended.
|
|
(A minimally sufficient set that is self contained
|
|
is important for R maintainance and validation.)
|
|
This means that we cannot use more modern tools such as knitR or markdown,
|
|
refer to other packages such as mstate or ggsurvfit, nor
|
|
use data from some of those packages in our examples.
|
|
A secondary reason is that the survival package is becoming physically large,
|
|
and it was useful to split these off for maintainance purposes.
|
|
|
|
Vignettes that have currently been relocated
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item tutorial: This works through the examples found in the excellent
|
|
tutorial by H. Putter, M. Fiocco and R. Geskus.
|
|
Tutorial in biostatistics: competing risks and multi-state models,
|
|
Statistics in Medicine, 2006.
|
|
\item sas: An expanded discussion answering some repeated queries about
|
|
how survival package results differ from SAS. Some of these computations
|
|
take a very long time to run.
|
|
\item ridge.Rmd: Addresses a recurrent question wrt using the ridge() function
|
|
with a large number of covariates.
|
|
\item royston: A small note that describes the data sets used in an
|
|
excellent paper on validation, and how those data were incorporated into
|
|
the survival package. (Royston and Altman, DOI:10.1186/1471-2288-13-33)
|
|
\item pseudo: Use of pseudovalues and the pseudo function.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
Over time, we expect more vignettes to transfer from the survival package,
|
|
and new ones to be written and added.
