Log-rank test for internal calibration and external calibration results

Usage

logrank_test(object)

Arguments

object

An object returned by calibrate or calibrate_external.

Examples

data("smart")
# Use the first 1000 samples as training data
# (the data used for internal validation)
x <- as.matrix(smart[, -c(1, 2)])[1:1000, ]
time <- smart$TEVENT[1:1000]
event <- smart$EVENT[1:1000]

# Take the next 1000 samples as external calibration data
# In practice, usually use data collected in other studies
x_new <- as.matrix(smart[, -c(1, 2)])[1001:2000, ]
time_new <- smart$TEVENT[1001:2000]
event_new <- smart$EVENT[1001:2000]

# Fit Cox model with lasso penalty
fit <- fit_lasso(
  x, survival::Surv(time, event),
  nfolds = 5, rule = "lambda.min", seed = 11
