Sdescribe {SurvivalTests}

Descriptive Statistics

Description

Sdescribe produces number of observations (n), number of events (nE), and the mean survival with confidence limits for the mean.

Usage

Sdescribe(formula, data, level = 0.95, nM = 5000, na.rm = TRUE, 
	  verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

formula

a formula of the form lhs ~ rhs where lhs gives the survival times and rhs the corresponding groups + the status variable (1: non-censored, 0: censored).

data

a data frame containing the variables in formula.

level

the confidence level.

nM

a number of bootstrap samples.

na.rm

a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

verbose
