In ROCt: Time-Dependent ROC Curve Estimators and Expected Utility Functions

Description

An object of class ratetable for the expected mortality of the French population. It is an array with three dimensions: age, sex and year.

Usage

data(fr.ratetable)

Format

The format is "ratetable". The attributes are:

dim

A numeric vector with the length of each dimension.

dimnames

A list of vectors with the names of each variable of the three dimensions.

A vector of indicators=1 if the corresponding dimension do not vary according to the time. Only the sex is associated to 1.

cutpoints

A list of the thresholds to identify the mortality rates according to the time-varying dimensions (NULL for sex).

class
