Read a List of Matrices from a File for Repeated Times to Events

Description

read.surv reads sets of lines of data from a file. Each set may contain a series of duration times followed by a censor indicator for the last value (all=FALSE) or a series of pairs of times followed by their censor indicators (all=TRUE).

Usage

read.surv(file="", skip=0, nlines=1, cumulative=TRUE, all=TRUE)

Arguments

file	Name of the file to read
skip	Number of lines to skip at the beginning of the file
nlines	Number of lines in each series of duration times
cumulative	If TRUE, the times are cumulative and differences are taken to obtain times between events. Otherwise, the times are used unchanged.
all	If TRUE, all times have accompanying censor indicators; otherwise, only the last one does.

Value

A list containing a list of vectors with the series of times and a vector of censor indicators for the last time of each series is returned.
