## Miscellaneous Functions for Survival Analysis

### Description

Package: | survMisc
Type: | Package
Version: | 0.5
Date: | 2015-07-15
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:

K&M | Klein J, Moeschberger M (2003). Survival Analysis, 2nd edition.
| New York: Springer. Springer (paywall).
T&G | Therneau TM, Grambsch PM (2000). Modeling Survival Data: Extending the Cox Model.
| New York: Springer. Springer (paywall).

#### 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`.
