Re: [R] How to test if two C statistics are significantly different?

Hi Yujie,
there is still a lot of work in progress, I think. As
http://faculty.washington.edu/heagerty/Software/SurvROC/RisksetROC/risksetROCdiscuss.pdf

states: [...] for inference and variance estimation, we now suggest
bootstrapping [...].
Recently I catched a glimpse on roc.test from the pROC package, they
implemented, amongst others, a bootstrap algorithm - maybe this is a
start for your own work?

 In order to test if a marker is a risk factor, I built two models (using cox
 proportional hazard model). One model included this marker, and the other is
 not.
 
 Then, I use R package risksetROC to test how much predictive value did the
 marker add to this model. I get two C statistics by analyzing the linear

 The qustion is How to test if two C statistics are significantly different?
 
 Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Re: [R] How to test if two C statistics are significantly different?

2011-10-11 Thread Frank Harrell
Thanks for mentioning rcorrp.cens which is much more powerful than testing
for differences in C.  Likelihood ratio tests would be even more powerful. 
Ordinary differences in C index yields a test with power that is too low.

[R] How to test if two C statistics are significantly different?

2011-10-10 Thread Yujie Wang
Hey all,

In order to test if a marker is a risk factor, I built two models (using cox
proportional hazard model). One model included this marker, and the other is
not.

Then, I use R package risksetROC to test how much predictive value did the
marker add to this model. I get two C statistics by analyzing the linear
predictors of the two models into this package.

The qustion is How to test if two C statistics are significantly different?

Your help will be greatly appreciated!
