fssg: Flexsurv “Shotgun” Approach

This package is designed to provide a simple, one-line-of-code approach to testing a variety of parametric survival distributions on a data set. This is done by running 50+ different parametric survival curves in order to see which one may be best suited to describing your data!

Installation

You can install the package through CRAN using:

install.packages('fssg')

You can install the development version of fssg like so:

devtools::install_github('jmrothen/fssg')

Example

The package is designed to be mostly contained to one function, fssg. Simply provide a survival formula, and receive a table of each model run, and how it fits:

library(fssg)

# sample dataset available in <survival>
library(survival)
fssg(Surv(time, status)~1, data=aml, dump_models = TRUE)

For a more in-depth example, please refer to the vignette titled fssg.
