TimeVTree: Survival Analysis of Time Varying Coefficients Using a Tree-Based Approach

Estimates time varying regression effects under Cox type models in survival data using classification and regression tree. The codes in this package were originally written in S-Plus for the paper "Survival Analysis with Time-Varying Regression Effects Using a Tree-Based Approach," by Xu, R. and Adak, S. (2002) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2002.00305.x>, Biometrics, 58: 305-315. Development of this package was supported by NIH grants AG053983 and AG057707, and by the UCSD Altman Translational Research Institute, NIH grant UL1TR001442.
