survIDINRI-package {survIDINRI}

IDI and NRI for comparing competing risk prediction models with censored survival data

Description

Performs inference for a class of measures to compare competing risk prediction models with censored survival data. The class includes the integrated discrimination improvement index (IDI) and category-less net reclassification index (NRI).

  #--- sample data (pbc in survival package) ---
  D=subset(pbc, select=c("time","status","age","albumin","edema","protime","bili"))
  D$status=as.numeric(D$status==2)
  D=D[!is.na(apply(D,1,mean)),] ; dim(D)
  mydata=D[1:100,]

  t0=365*5
  indata1=mydata;
  indata0=mydata[,-7] ; n=nrow(D) ;
  covs1<-as.matrix(indata1[,c(-1,-2)])
  covs0<-as.matrix(indata0[,c(-1,-2)])

  #--- inference ---
  x<-IDI.INF(mydata[,1:2], covs0, covs1, t0, npert=200) ;

  #--- results ---
