K Adaptive Partitioning for Survival data
Description
This package provides some routines to conduct the
K-adaptive parititioning (kaps) and recursive partitioning
(lrtree) for survival data, with the application to SEER
(Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results). A function kaps is
an implementation version of our algorithm kaps which provides
minimax based partitioing rule by log-rank test. A fuction
lrtree enables researchers to conduct log-rank survival tree
proposed by Segal (1988). In the near future, we have a plan to
add new recursive partitioning algorithm for survival data
called STUDI (Cho and Hong, 2008)
