ezcox: Easily Process a Batch of Cox Models
The goal of ezcox is to operate a batch of univariate or multivariate Cox models and return tidy result.
⏬
Installation
You can install the released version of ezcox from CRAN with:
install.packages("ezcox")
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ShixiangWang/ezcox")
It is possible to install ezcox from Conda conda-forge
channel:
conda install r-ezcox --channel conda-forge
Visualization feature of ezcox needs the recent version of forestmodel, please run the following commands:
remotes::install_github("ShixiangWang/forestmodel")
🔰
Example
This is a basic example which shows you how to get result from a batch of cox models.
