Build Status

tumgr

tumgr is a tool to obtain tumor growth rates from clinical trial patient data. Output includes individual and summary data for tumor growth rate estimates as well as optional plots of the observed and predicted tumor quantity over time. Tumor growth rates can be used to compare treatment efficacy and help predict overall survival in clinical trial datasets.

## Loading required package: minpack.lm
# example data  
data(sampleData)

# generate sample plots
#par(mfrow=c(2, 3))
#out <- gdrate(sampleData, 0.10, TRUE)
#par(mfrow=c(1, 1))

# generate results with plots set to off
out <- gdrate(sampleData, 0.10, FALSE)
