survTP: Create a survTP object

In TPmsm: Estimation of Transition Probabilities in Multistate Models

Create a survTP object

Description

Creates a ‘survTP’ object, usually used as input to other functions.

Usage

	survTP(time1, event1, Stime, event, ...)
	is.survTP(x)

Arguments

time1	Time of the transition into state 2, state 3 or censoring time.
event1	Indicator of transition into state 2 or state 3; 0 if the transition time is censored and 1 otherwise.
Stime	The total time of the process.
event	Censoring indicator of the total time of the process; 0 if the total time is censored and 1 otherwise.
...	Any number of covariates can be specified.
x	Any R object.

Value

An object of class ‘survTP’.

‘survTP’ objects are implemented as a single element list

data	a data.frame with time1, event1, Stime, event and covariates as columns.

In the case of is.survTP, a logical value TRUE if x inherits from class ‘survTP’, otherwise FALSE.
