Welcome to rmodest project!

Rmodest is a package that will allow you to easily fit mortality functions to your survival data, and to test hypotheses about your data.

Breaking news. Survomatic is now available as a standard package. To install, type: install.packages("Survomatic",,c("http://www.rforge.net/","http://cran.r-project.org/")).

To use Survomatic, follow these steps:

1. Download and install R.
2. Run R
3. In the console window, type:
   

   install.packages("Survomatic",,c("http://www.rforge.net/","http://cran.r-project.org/")).

   
   This installs the Survomatic add-on, and you only need to do this once.
4. In the console window, type:
   

   library(Survomatic)

   
   This loads Survomatic, and you need to do this anytime you need to run it.
5. In the console window, type:
   

   go()

   
   That last command actually starts Survomatic and is pretty much all the actual R you'll need. From that point on, Survomatic will prompt you for your survival data and analyze it for you, using several methods.
