genefilter (version 1.54.2)

coxfilter: A filter function for univariate Cox regression.

Description

A function that performs Cox regression with bindings for surt, cens, and p is returned. This function filters genes according to the attained p-value from a Cox regression using surt as the survival times, and cens as the censoring indicator. It requires survival.

Usage

coxfilter(surt, cens, p)

Arguments

surt

Survival times.

cens

Censoring indicator.

p

The p-value to use in filtering.

Value

• Calls to the coxph function in the survival library are used to fit a Cox model. The filter function returns TRUE if the p-value in the fit is less than p.

   out <- genefilter(dat, ffun)
