Dear all,
?
I am using glmnet + survival and due to the latest
release of glmnet
1.7.4 I was forced to use the latest version of R 2.15.0.
My previous version of R was 2.10.1. I changed glmnet version and R
version and when I started to get weird results I was not sure where the bug was.
?
After putting glmnet back to previous version, I have
found that the bug or weird behaviour happens in survival survfit. My script is
below in email and it is uses glmnet 1.7.3. I get two completely different
answers in different versions of R and in my opinion the older version of
survival package returns correct value.
?
in R 2-10-1 I get
?>
cat(dim(sfit$surv))
?
?>
cat(length(sfit$surv))
32
?>
?
in R-2-15-0 I get
cat(dim(sfit$surv))
62 99
?>
cat(length(sfit$surv))
6138
?>
?Kind regardsDK
