Gini's mean difference and the long-term prognostic value of nodal quanta classes after pre-operative chemotherapy in advanced breast cancer: data and software
Description
The file 311pat_9_anon-trim.xlsx provides all data and the R script gmdboot_01 is the full script to reproduce the figures and tables (and beyond) the paper: Vinh-Hung V, Van Parijs H, Gorobets O, Fontaine C, Nguyen NP, Keam B, Nguyen DM, De Ridder M. Gini's mean difference and the long-term prognostic value of nodal quanta classes after pre-operative chemotherapy in advanced breast cancer. (on-going submission). A closely related reference which provides details on the methods is the published paper: Keam B, Gorobets O, Vinh-Hung V, Im SA. Lymph Node Ratio after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Stage II/III Breast Cancer: Prognostic Value Measured with Gini's Mean Difference of Restricted Mean Survival Times. Cancer Inform. 2021 Oct 12;20:11769351211051675. doi: 10.1177/11769351211051675. The R script seer2015_02.R is provided as reference to a companion paper on a parallel topic: Gorobets O, Vinh-Hung V, Nguyen NP. Gini's Mean Difference of Restricted Mean Survival Times as a Measure of Prognostic Separation by Nodal Ratios in Metastatic Breast Cancer. (on-going submission).
