This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-survival package of survival, a collection of functions and datasets for survival analysis. Survival was written by Terry Therneau, and ported to by Thomas Lumley. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ and are also included in the (large) source tar archive of R itself at http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/ The package was renamed from its upstream name 'survival' to 'r-cran-survival' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.
