Sorry, this content is only available in German!

The measures of predictive accuracy and explained variation in Cox regression presented in Schemper and Henderson 2000 and also dealt with in Schemper 2003 can be computed by means of a SAS macro. By courtesy of Janez Stare, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Lara Lusa, National Cancer Institute, Milan, Italy, independently developed versions in R and S-Plus are also made available below. Finally, this page provides a link to more powerful and recently developed R and S-Plus programs by Lara Lusa.

 

SAS code:
The ZIP archive contains the files surev.sas (the SAS macro), surev.pdf (a short documentation of macro options), and example.sas (a SAS file containing the myeloma data set analyzed by Schemper and Henderson 2000, and an example macro call).

R code for R version 2.x.x:
A ZIP archive contains an R package developed by L. Lusa, Miceli and Mariani in 2007 (available as R source package or pre-compiled R package for Windows) as well as R functions provided by Janez Stare.

R function for R version 3.x.x:
The function f.surev() from the above R package has been updated by Hana Sinkovec in 2019.
