Hi Guys,
I have this part of a program:
library(survival)
Gastric <- cbind.data.frame(Gp=c(rep(1,45),rep(0,45)),  ### 2nd gp 0
    time=c(1,63,105,129,182,216,250,262,301,301,342,354,356,358,
    380,383, 383,388,394,408,460,489,499,523,524,535,562,569,675,676,
    748,778,786,797,955,968,1000,1245,1271,1420,1551,1694,2363,2754,2950,
    17,42,44,48,60,72,74,95,103,108,122,144,167,170,183,185,193,195,197,
    208,234,235,254,307,315,401,445,464,484,528,542,547,577,580,795,855,
    1366,1577,2060,2412,2486,2796,2802,2934,2988), Dth=c(rep(1,43),
    0,0, rep(1,39), rep(0,6)))
CoxG0 <- coxph(Surv(time,Dth) ~ Gp, Gastric)
srvGastA <- survfit(Surv(Gastric$time,Gastric$Dth)~1) ## 88 distinct times
#Gastric$time is all the time points either death or largest obervation
time.
#srvGastA$time is all the unique times
newGas <- data.frame(start=0, stop=1, Dth=1, Ploidy=1, tim=0)
#newGas <- r(0,1,1,1,0)
for (i in 2:90) {
    timind <- match(Gastric$time[i],srvGastA$time)
    tmpmat <- array(0, dim=c(timind,5))#build an array with dim('index',5)
    tmpmat[,4] <- rep(Gastric[i,1], timind)#fourth column, return i's group
    tmpmat[timind,3] <- Gastric$Dth[i]
    tmpmat[,1] <- if(timind>1) c(0,srvGastA$time[1:(timind-1)]) else 0
    tmpmat[,2] <- srvGastA$time[1:timind]
    newGas <- rbind(newGas,tmpmat) }
____________________________________________________________________
I found when include "the last line" in the for loop. the error will jump
out. But I do not know how to fix it. I initialize newGas without names. it
does not work either....
It would be great if anyone knows how to fix the problem. Thanks a lot.
