All the figures and calculations displayed and quoted in the paper can be replicated using the R script src/replication.R. The script uses data from dat/ directory. Each .txt file with data contains a brief description of the dataset and a reference to the source of data. Produced figures are stored in fig directory
REPLICATION. HOW TO
- Unzip the contents of the replication package wherever you feel like. Alternatively, fork the GitHub repository: https://github.com/CPop-SDU/outsurvival-demres.
- Using RStudio open "outsurvival-demres.Rproj" file in the main project directory.
- Follow the "scr/replication.R" file. The figures will be stored in the sub-directory "fig". Calculation results will be displayed in the console of the R session.
