This repository uses renv to ensure that a project-specific R package library is used and that functionality is maintained even if packages have breaking changes in the future.
If you clone this package, make sure you create the same package library by using the command renv::restore() to restore the project library locally to your machine.
You find more details on https://rstudio.github.io/renv/articles/collaborating.html.
Due to legal restrictions, the individual-level raw data used for this analysis (i.e., German cancer registry data) is only available via request to the German Centre for Cancer Registry Data (ZfKD), which can provide a scientific use file. More information on the application process is provided on the ZfKD website (https://www.krebsdaten.de/Krebs/EN/Content/ScientificUseFile/scientificusefile_node.html).
The validation data set (i.e., U.S. cancer registry data) is publicly available via the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER). More information on the data request process is provided on the SEER website (https://seer.cancer.gov/data/access.html).
The authors of this paper strongly support open science and have therefore published both the analysis code and the newly programmed software to review and download under a GPL-3 license. The respective references are provided in the manuscript.
