title: SAS and R functions to compute pseudo-values for censored data regression.
abstract: Recently, in a series of papers, a method based on pseudo-values has been proposed for direct regression modeling of the survival function, the restricted mean and cumulative incidence function with right censored data. The models, once the pseudo-values have been computed, can be fit using standard generalized estimating equation software. Here we present SAS macros and R functions to compute these pseudo-values. We illustrate the use of these routines and show how to obtain regression estimates for a study of bone marrow transplant patients.
