[R] Likelihood ratio test for comparing non-nested cox models

[Hans-Ulrich Klein]

Dear All,

I fitted two non-nested proportional hazards models using the coxph() 
function from package survival. Now, I would like to apply a model 
selection test like, e.g., the likelihood ratio test proposed by Vuong. 
I found an implementation of Vuong's test in the package 'pscl', but 
that does not work for cox models.

Is there any package available that provides an implementation of that 
test or can someone point me to an implementation of a similar test?

Thanks in advance!

Hans-Ulrich
