survivalVignettes

Welcome to the survivalVignettes documentation site. This package contains many of the vignettes for the survival package, along with some optional datasets used in those vignettes. Since survival is a recommended package, the documentation is required to be completely “vanilla”. In particular, the survival package vignettes use Sweave rather than knitr, markdown or quarto, and no other packages outside the base + recommended set can be referenced. Splitting vignettes into this package overcomes this, and also allowed the survival package itself to be a smaller object. Additionally, by translating the vignettes from Sweave to quarto, this will more easily enable others to submit updates.
