summary.cmp.rel: Summary of the crude probability of death

In relsurv: Relative Survival

Summary of the crude probability of death

Description

Returns a list containing the estimated values at required times.

Usage

	## S3 method for class 'cmp.rel'
summary(object, times, scale = 365.241,area=FALSE,...) 

Arguments

object	output of the function cmp.rel.
times	the times at which the output is required.
scale	The time scale in which the times are specified. The default value is 1, i.e. days.
area	Should area under the curves at time tau be printed out? Default is FALSE.
...	Additional arguments, currently not implemented

Details

The variance is calculated using numerical integration. If the required time is not a time at which the value was estimated, the value at the last time before it is reported. The density of the time points is set by the precision argument in the cmp.rel function.

Value

A list of values is returned.
