estC: Estimation of a single overall _C_ index

In compareC: Compare Two Correlated C Indices with Right-Censored Survival Outcome

Estimation of a single overall C index

Description

This is a function used to estimate a single overall C index

Usage

	estC(timeX, statusX, scoreY)

Arguments

timeX	The vector of actual survival time X, one survival time for each observation
statusX	The matching vector of event indicator for time X, 1 if occured and 0 otherwise
scoreY	The vector of the measured biomarker Y, one for each of the same observations, based on which the C index is to be estimated

Value

The estimated C index
