[R] CompetingRiskFrailty modeling

[Daniel Malter]

Hi all can anybody give info what I do wrong when modeling a survival
function with the CompetingRiskFrailty package in the following way?

"accumulate", "reduce" and "closed" are dummy vectors with 0s indicating no
event and 1s indicating the respective event in the appropriate column.

	action=data.frame(accumulate,reduce,closed)
 
basis=CompetingRiskFrailtySurv(ID=Subject,surv.time=Duration,status=action)

until here it seems to work fine. Then I fit the model:
 
	
reg2.afteropening=CompetingRiskFrailtySurvfitCreate(formula=basis~Loss,na.ac
tion=na.fail,control=list(niter.EM=5,niter.epoch = 2, tol.epoch = 1e-04,
tol.variance = 	1e-04,tol.frailty = 1e-04,
print.penalty.mixture=TRUE,print.EM=TRUE,print.estimates=FALSE,print.log.lik
=TRUE),risk.names=c("accumulate","reduce","closed"))

Then R starts running and shows the running sand clock. The first output
lines are
 
	penalty.mixture=0.001
 
	EM.iteration=1

And then nothing happens anymore (while the sand clock is still showing
after hours and hours). Can somebody give advice? It is highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Daniel

Betreff: [R] tcltk scrollbar

The following code should give me (at least that's what I think) two list
boxes with their individual scrollbars. But instead both scrollbars stick to
the same listbox even though they work as they should (scroll individual
listboxes). When I remove all the widgets on top everything works perfectly.
Any help would be highly apprecciated.
ps: all subsequent listboxes and scrollbars work perfectly, the first one
(column 1 of main window) is the only one constantly off.

library(tcltk)
tt<-tktoplevel()
mainFont<-tkfont.create(family="times",size=16)
lbl.MainT<-tklabel(tt,text="Basic Manipulation",font=mainFont)
tkgrid(lbl.MainT,sticky="nw")
but.Browse<-tkbutton(tt,text=" Browse ",command=browse)
but.Apply<-tkbutton(tt,text=" Apply ")
scr1 <- tkscrollbar(tt,
repeatinterval=5,command=function(...)tkyview(lsbDim1,...))
scr2 <- tkscrollbar(tt,
repeatinterval=5,command=function(...)tkyview(lsbDim2,...))
lsbDim1<-tklistbox(tt,height=10,selectmode="multiple",yscrollcommand=functio
n(...)tkset(scr1,...),background="white",exportselection=FALSE)
lsbDim2<-tklistbox(tt,height=10,selectmode="multiple",yscrollcommand=functio
n(...)tkset(scr2,...),background="white",exportselection=FALSE)
for (i in 1:70) {
    tkinsert(lsbDim1,"end",i)
    }
for (i in 1:70) {
    tkinsert(lsbDim2,"end",i)
    }

tkgrid(lsbDim1,scr1,lsbDim2,scr2)
tkgrid.configure(scr1,rowspan=10,sticky="nsw")
tkgrid.configure(scr2,rowspan=10,sticky="nsw")
