Description

Miscellaneous Functions for Survival Analysis

Package:	survMisc
Type:	Package
Version:	0.5.5
Date:	2018-07-03
License:	GPL (>= 2)
LazyLoad:	yes

A collection of functions for the analysis of survival data. These extend the methods already available in package:survival.
The intent is to generate a workspace for some of the common tasks arising in survival analysis.

There are references in many of the functions to the textbooks:

Notes for developers

• This package should be regarded as 'in development' until release 1.0, meaning that there may be changes to certain function names and parameters, although I will try to keep this to a minimum. As such it is recommended that other packages do not depend on or import from this one until at least version 1.0.

• Naming tends to follow the camelCase convention; variables within functions are typically alphanumeric e.g. a1 <- 1.
