Description

Function generating bootstrap data according to an exponential distribution (specified by a model parameter θ), assuming exponentially distributed right-censoring (specified by a rate C). After data generation again a model is fitted and evaluated at a pre-specified time point t_0 yielding the response vector.

Usage

1
boot_exponential(t0, B = 1000, theta, C, N)

Arguments

t0

time point of interest

B

number of bootstrap repetitions. The default is B=1000

theta

parameter of the exponential distribution, theta=rate

C

rate of the exponential distribution specifiying the censoring

N

size of the dataset = number of observations

Value

A vector of length B containing the estimated survival at t0

boot_exponential(t0=t0,theta=1,C=C,N=N)
