logrnk: Performs Log Rank test on the long and short patient sets

Description

This function performs a Chi-square test on the long and short subject sets to determine if their is a significant difference between the survival times in both sets. It returns the p-value.

Usage

logrnk(dataL, dataS)

Arguments

dataL

The set of subjects predicted to fall into the long-survivor set. A data frame containing at least the following columns: ``PatientOrderValidation'' (the number/order of the subject); ``group'' (the group into which the patient falls L (for long) or S(for short)); ``censored'' (the censorship status of the patient $1$ for uncensored and $0$ for censored).

dataS

Same as ``dataL'' but for the set of short survivors.

Value

The estimated p-value is returned

Details

Note that the typical arguments to be passed are the results of the ``STpredict'' functions ``long\_survivors'' and ``long\_survivors''
