Hi all,

I was unable to reinstall survival branch of rstanarm in my laptop and other devices, so I would like to ask if someone has installed the survival branch and can help me to run my hierarchical model. I ran my model in the past, but after updating the rstanarm, I have struggled to try reinstalling the survival branch using versions of R 4.0.2, 4.0.5, 4.3.1, and rstanarm 2.21.1, 2.21.3. in Windows 10, 11, and different Macs. I would really appreciate in case someone could help me, please.

Hi Sandra,

Here’s a solution that has worked for me and at least one other person.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for replying. I downloaded the zip file and tried to install the survival branch, but I am still having an error using R version 4.2.0 in Windows:

==> Rcpp::compileAttributes()

==> Rcmd.exe INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source rstanarm-feature-survival

Exited with status 1.

I also cloned the branch from github and installed rstanarm in R 4.3.1 version but not the survival branch, which is weird. This message was shown in the Built section:

==> Rcmd.exe INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source rstanarm_survival

  • DONE (rstanarm)

And when I run my model, it still shows an error:

Error in stan_surv(Surv(time = time, event = status) ~ edge_area.sd + :
could not find function “stan_surv”

I appreciate it a lot if somebody could help me to run my model.
