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 do I alter the R script to include "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.
