SubtypeHazards: Age-specific hazard rate dataset with subtypes

In SimRVPedigree: Simulate Pedigrees Ascertained for a Rare Disease

Description

A dataset that contains the following age-specific hazard rates: (1) the age-specific hazard rates for Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in the United States, (2) the age-specific hazard rates for death in the United States, and (3) the age-specific hazard rates for death for individuals, living in the United States, who have been diagnosed with either Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Usage

data(SubtypeHazards)

Format

A data frame with 100 rows and 4 variables:

pop_HL_hazard

The population, age-specific hazard rate for Hodgkin Lymphoma

pop_NHL_hazard

The population, age-specific hazard rate for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

unaffected_death_hazard

The age-specific hazard rate for death in the unaffected population

affected_death_hazard

The age-specific hazard rate for death in the affected population

Details

The SubtypeHazards dataset contains the following age-specific hazard rates which roughly mimic: (1) the age-specific hazard rates for Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in the United States, (2) the age-specific hazard rates for death in the United States, and (3) the age-specific hazard rates for death for individuals, living in the United States, who have been diagnosed with either Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The age-specific hazard rates of disease onset and death in the affected populations were estimated by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) SEER*Stat Software, and the age-specific hazard rates of death in the United States were estimated from actuarial life tables provided by the Social Security Administration.

The four columns in the SubtypeHazards dataset provide age-specific hazard rates, in yearly increments, beginning at age 0 and ending with age 100. That is, the values in the first row describe the hazard rates for an individual whose age is contained in the interval [0, 1), while the values in the second row describe the hazard rates for an individual whose age is contained in the interval [1, 2), and so on.
