SpliceTB: Plot of fitted and Turnbull survival function

In TReynkens/ReIns: Functions from "Reinsurance: Actuarial and Statistical Aspects"

Plot of fitted and Turnbull survival function

Description

This function plots the fitted survival function of the spliced distribution together with the Turnbull survival function (which is suitable for interval censored data). Moreover, 100(1-\alpha)\% confidence intervals are added.

Usage

SpliceTB(x = sort(L), L, U = L, censored, splicefit, alpha = 0.05, ...)

Arguments

x	Vector of points to plot the functions at. By default we plot it at the points L.
L	Vector of length n with the lower boundaries of the intervals for interval censored data or the observed data for right censored data.
U	Vector of length n with the upper boundaries of the intervals. By default, they are equal to L.
censored	A logical vector of length n indicating if an observation is censored.
splicefit	A SpliceFit object, e.g. output from SpliceFiticPareto.
alpha	100(1-\alpha)\% is the confidence level for the confidence intervals. Default is \alpha=0.05.
...	Additional arguments for the plot function, see plot for more details.

Details

Right censored data should be entered as L=l and U=truncupper, and left censored data should be entered as L=trunclower and U=u. The limits trunclower and truncupper are obtained from the SpliceFit object.

Use SpliceECDF for non-censored data.

See Reynkens et al. (2017) and Section 4.3.2 in Albrecher et al. (2017) for more details.
