sim_KM: Returns random deviates from a survival curve

In cancerpolicy/bcimodel: Model the impact of early detection and treatment interventions for breast cancer

Description

Takes in event times and corresponding survival probs (as from a KM curve) and returns n random deviates

Usage

sim_KM(survival, time, smalltimes, bigtimes, nsims, mindraw = 0,
  maxdraw = 1, draws = NULL)

Arguments

survival	Vector of survival probabilities, as from a KM curve
time	Vector of event times corresponding to the survival probabilities
smalltimes	Value to be returned if survival is higher/time is smaller than any observed. Suggestions: 0, min(times), NA
bigtimes	Value to be returned if survival is lower/time is higher than any observed. Suggestions: Inf, max(times), NA
nsims	Number of deviates to return
mindraw	Minimum draw allowed on the survival scale
maxdraw	Maximum draw allowed on the survival scale
draws	If draws on the survival scale have already been made, specify as a vector here

Value

Times to event representative of the input curve
