In BGPhazard: Markov Beta and Gamma Processes for Modeling Hazard Rates

Plots for the Hazard and Survival Funcion Estimates for the Bayesian non-parametric Markov gamma model with covariates in survival analysis.

Description

Plots the resulting hazard function along with the survival function estimate defined by the Markov gamma process with covariates (Nieto-Barajas, 2003).

Usage

CGaPloth(
  M,
  new_obs = NULL,
  type.h = "segment",
  coxSurv = T,
  intervals = T,
  confidence = 0.95,
  summary = FALSE
)

Arguments

M	tibble. Contains the output generated by CuMRres.
new_obs	tibble. The function calculates the hazard rates and survival function estimates for specific individuals expressed in a tibble, the names of the columns have to be the same as the data input.
type.h	character. "segment"= use segments to plot hazard rates, "line" = link hazard rates by a line
coxSurv	logical. Add estimated Survival function with the Cox-Model
intervals	logical. If TRUE, plots confidence bands for the selected functions including Cox-Model.
confidence	Numeric. Confidence level.
summary	logical. If TRUE, a summary for hazard and survival functions is returned as a tibble.

Details

This function return plots for the resulting hazard rate as it is computed by CGaMRes and the quantile of Tao specified by the user aswell as an annotation. In the same plot the credible intervals for both variables are plotted; The mean of Pi is also annotated. Additionally, it plots the survival function with their corresponding credible intervals.

Value

SUM.h	Numeric tibble. Summary for the mean, median, and a confint / 100 confidence interval for each segment of the hazard function. If summary = TRUE
SUM.S	Numeric tibble. Summary for the mean, median, and a confint / 100 confidence interval for each segment of the survival function. If summary = TRUE

Examples

## Simulations may be time intensive. Be patient.

   # ## Example 1
   #  data(leukemiaFZ)
   #  leukemia1 <- leukemiaFZ
   #  leukemia1$wbc <- log(leukemiaFZ$wbc)
   #  CGEX1 <- CGaMRes(data = leukemia1, K = 10, iterations = 100, thinning = 1)
   #  CGaPloth(CGEX1)
