mHR2.LF: Bivariate regression survival function and marginal hazards...

In mhazard: Nonparametric and Semiparametric Methods for Multivariate Failure Time Data

Bivariate regression survival function and marginal hazards estimation

Description

Estimates the survival function F and the marginal hazards Lambda11 for a bivariate Cox regression model. F and Lambda11 are estimated at two specified values of the covariates. If desired, (bootstrap) confidence intervals or confidence bounds for F and Lambda11 may also be computed.

Usage

mHR2.LF(
  mHR2.obj,
  X0_out,
  X1_out,
  T1_out,
  T2_out,
  confidence = c("none", "CI", "CB"),
  n.boot = 100
)

Arguments

mHR2.obj	Output from the mHR2 function.
X0_out, X1_out	Two possible sets of values for the covariates. F and Lambda will be estimated at X=X0_out and X=X1_out.
T1_out, T2_out	Vector of time points at which F and Lambda11 should be estimated. If confidence="CB", then both vectors must have length 3.
confidence	Type of confidence estimate to be computed. Possible values include "none", "CI" (to compute confidence intervals), and "CB" (to compute confidence bands). Defaults to "none".
n.boot	Number of bootstrap iterations for computing the confidence intervals/bands. Defaults to 100. Ignored if confidence="none".

Details

If confidence="CI" or confidence="CB", then 95% bootstrap confidence bounds are computed by estimating the standard errors of F/Lambda11 based on n.boot bootstrap iterations. Currently confidence bounds can only be computed at three specified T1out/T2out combinations (meaning that T1out and T2out must both have length 3 if confidence="CB"). No confidence measures will be returned if confidence="none".
