Description

Function to compute and render text entries for HR-table

Usage

HRtable.text(this.data, this.outcome, this.var, this.type, sign.digits,
  sign.digits.HR, pvalue.digits, pvalue.cutoff, less.than.character)

Arguments

this.data	Data used for the computations
this.outcome	A text string as input for survival::coxph, e.g., "Surv(Follow_up_Years, Event_Death)" (incl. the quotes). This string will be passed to coxph as the left-side of the model equation with as.formula(paste(this.outcome, " ~ ", this.var, sep = ""))
this.var	Variable in the table (must exist in this.data)
this.type	Variable type for table
sign.digits	Digits used for parameter estimates
sign.digits.HR	Digits used for hazard ratios and conf. intervals
pvalue.digits	Digits used for p-values
pvalue.cutoff	Cutoff for changing p-values to simply 'smaller than', e.g., p < 0.001
less.than.character	The character to be prepended to the cutoff-value for the p-values (e.g., '< 0.001'). The default is less.than.character = "< " but it can be reset to any character string. If the result is passed on to html-rendering this symbol can be produced by less.than.character = "&lt; " (HTML-friendly name for 'less than' since '<' is used in HTML-tags and might not render correctly as a character; e.g., when using function htmlTable() in the htmlTable-package).

Value

Output used by HRtable()
