Dear R Friends,

I'm a medical doctor with some knowledge about statistic and programming.
I want to analysis and compare data of different countries with survival or
popEpi tools in R.
I couldn't able to make tables with one row for every people of countries
without illness. I can made a data table look like as:

time
country at.risk from0to1 sk zf from0to0
1 AFG 40363639 1 K F 0

I try to prepare for analysis with survtab_ag function of Epi package. When
I run
st <- survtab_ag(time ~ cuntry, data = xxxx, surv.type =
"surv.obs",surv.breaks=list(xxxx$time),
+                  surv.method = "lifetable",
+                  d = "from0to1")
I see just the error message:
Error in sort.int(x, na.last = na.last, decreasing = decreasing, ...) :
  'x' must be atomic

Can any body help me for preparing this kind tabulated data without surv()
to other survival functions?
Best regards from Turkey

Hi

I am not an expert and cannot give you canned solution, but here are few
comments:

Without knowing data structure it is hard to decipher where is the problem.
So posting result of 
str(yourata) or at least part of it hardly anybody could help.
Cuntry is typo?
The error could by result of typo or not properly structured data.

This is plain text mail list, please do not use HTML formating.
