Dear All!
   
  I have microarray data for cancer patients and I want to correlate the genes with survival.
  One option is the survival analysis of the PAM package. However, only the windows EXCEL version offers this option, but the package for R not. Moreover, the EXCEL version breaks down, so that I can see the successfull classification but I can not see which genes are included in the discriminative signature. Unfortunatelly, the authors of PAM do not respond to my questions.
   
  Questions:
  1. is there an R version of PAM which I am unaware of?
  2. is there other pacakge / software I can use to correlate microarray data and patient survival data?
   
  (IMPORTANT: I don“t want to group the patients myself to GOOD prognosis and BAD prognosis group. Since our patiens live for a very limited time, good and bad prognosis are very relative, and therefore the optimal grouping to groups is not possible.)
   
  Thank you very much:
  Balazs Gyorffy
