loopcuts_umbrella: Change-point p-values with backward elimination under...
In RPEXE.RPEXT: Reduced Piecewise Exponential Estimate/Test Software

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

A function that iterates to compute the p-values from the backward elimination procedure (Han et al. 2014) with umbrella alternative order restriction.

1	loopcuts_umbrella(time,censor,cuttimes,mono)

`time`	a sequence of time
`censor`	a vector indicating censored or not at the given times, 0 = censored; 1 = uncensored
`cuttimes`	unique, sorted, possible times to make the cuts, including 0 and the ending time
`mono`	0: 2-sided hypothesis: H0: lam1 is equal to lam2; H1: lam1 is not equal to lam2 1: 1-sided hypothesis: H0: lam1 is greater than or equal to lam2; H1: lam1 is less than lam2 2: 1-sided hypothesis: H0: lam1 is less than or equal to lam2; H1: lam1 is greater than lam2

the times in the backward elimination procedure and the corresponding p-values for each change-point in the iteration
