Create a "surv_DF" attribute so that survival analysis can be implemented.

Source: R/surv_designation.R

This function will add the necessary information to omicsData such that survival analysis can be applied to it.

surv_designation(
  omicsData,
  t_death,
  t_progress = NULL,
  ind_death,
  ind_progress = NULL,
  covariates = NULL
)

Arguments

t_death

the column in 'f_data' that corresponds to the subjects' time of death

t_progress

the column in 'f_data' that corresponds to the subjects' time of progression

ind_death

the column in 'f_data' that corresponds to the subjects' status, e.g. alive/dead

ind_progress

the column in 'f_data' that corresponds to the subjects' progression status

covariates

the column(s) in 'f_data' that correspond to covariates to be included in the survivial analysis
