In Oncostat/biospear: Biomarker selection in penalized regression models

biospear

Biomarker selection in penalized regression models

Aim

We proposed biospear, a useful R tool for developing and validating prediction models, estimate expected survival of patients and visualize them graphically. A function generating simulated survival data set is also provided.
