Description Usage

Description

A model for mortality as a function of a single discrete predictor, with the time interval for each individual incorporated (as a second predictor).

The predictor must be a factor, so the total number of levels is known. The log(mortality parameter) is modeled as a different value for each distinct predictor. The number of parameters must exceed the maximum value of the predictor.

The return value is a survival probability. Nothing prevents the output from being outside (0,1); that must be handled in the likelihood function.
