[R] How to use read.xls in R

2006-12-07 Thread Lisa Wang
Hello there,

In gdata package, read.xls is to be used for reading excel data (from
windows). 
The following is my code:('C:/session/sampledata.xls' is where the file
is stored)

data1-read.xls('C:/session/sampledata.xls',sheet=1)

and I got the following error message:
Error in system(cmd, intern = !verbose) : perl not found

Could you please tell me what I have done wrong and how I should do it?

[R] question on boot

2005-06-09 Thread Lisa Wang

Hello there:

Dear Dr. Murdoch,

I'm a statistician at Princess Margaret Hospital. Could you please help 
me with the bootstrapping?


Can boot function (along with boot.ci) handle multivariate statistics?  
My intention is that I want to group the outcome data and evaluate the 
proportion of patients who are positive for a marker within each group.  
(i.e. I have two variables, a predictor and an outcome.  The predictor 
is continuous and the outcome is binary.  I want a statistic which 
groups patients based on the predictor variable (0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 
etc;) and check the proportion of patients who are positive for the 
outcome variable within each group).

[R] categorical varibles in coxph

Hello,

I wonder when I do coxph in R:

coxph( Surv(start, stop, event) ~ x, data=test)

If x is a categorical varible (1,2,3,4,5), should I creat four dummy
varibles for it? if yes, how can I get the overall p value on x other
than for each dummy variable?
