Hi all,
I have a data set like this:
Test.cox file:
V1 V2 V3 Survival Event
ann 13 WTHomo 4 1
ben 20 * 5 1
tom 40 Variant 6 1
where "*" indicates that I don't know what the value is for V3 for Ben.
I've set up a Cox model to run like this:
#!/usr/bin/Rscript
library(bdsmatrix)
library(kinship2)
library(survival)
library(coxme)
death.dat <- read.table("Test.cox",header=T)
deathdat.kmat <-2*with(death.dat,makekinship(famid,ID,faid,moid))
sink("Test.cox.R.Output")
Model <- coxme(Surv(Survival,Event)~ strata(factor(V1)) +
strata(factor(V2)) + factor(V3)) +
(1|ID),data=death.dat,varlist=deathdat.kmat)
Model
sink()
As you can see from the Test.cox file, I have a missing value "*". How and
where do I tell the R script "treat * as a missing variable". If I can't
incorporate missing values into the model, I assume the alternative is to
remove all of the rows with missing data, which will greatly reduce my data
set, as most rows have at least one missing variable.
Thanks
