Description

Computes the conditional survival probability P(T > y|Z = z)

Usage

1
 Beran(time, status, covariate, delta, x, y, kernel = "gaussian", bw, lower.tail = FALSE)

Arguments

time

The survival time of the process.

status

Censoring indicator of the total time of the process; 0 if the total time is censored and 1 otherwise.

covariate

Covariate values for obtaining estimates for the conditional probabilities.

delta

Censoring indicator of the covariate.

x

The first time (or covariate value) for obtaining estimates for the conditional probabilities. If missing, 0 will be used.

y

The total time for obtaining estimates for the conditional probabilities.

kernel

A character string specifying the desired kernel. See details below for possible options. Defaults to "gaussian" where the gaussian density kernel will be used.

bw

A single numeric value to compute a kernel density bandwidth.

lower.tail

logical; if FALSE (default), probabilities are P(T > y|Z = z) otherwise, P(T <= y|Z = z).

Details

Possible options for argument window are "gaussian", "epanechnikov", "tricube", "boxcar", "triangular", "quartic" or "cosine".
