get_default_knots_list: Generate List of Knot Location Vectors from Event Times

In harrisonreeder/SemiCompRisksPen: Penalized Models for Semi-Competing Risks

Generate List of Knot Location Vectors from Event Times

Description

This function creates a list containing three numeric vectors. Each numeric vector is a sequence of increasing integers giving the location of knots used for spline and piecewise baseline hazard specifications. This function generates this list according to the conventions and recommended locations of these knots, which depends on the choice of hazard specification, number of knots requested, and distribution of observed event times.

Usage

get_default_knots_list(y1, y2, delta1, delta2, p01, p02, p03, hazard, model)

Arguments

y1	Numeric vectors of length n with (possibly censored) non-terminal and terminal event times
y2	Numeric vectors of length n with (possibly censored) non-terminal and terminal event times
delta1	Numeric vectors of length n with indicators of 1 if the event was observed and 0 otherwise
delta2	Numeric vectors of length n with indicators of 1 if the event was observed and 0 otherwise
p01, p02, p03	Integers indicating how many parameters the model for each transition baseline hazard should specify.
hazard	String specifying the form of the baseline hazard.
model	String specifying the transition assumption

Value

A list of three increasing sequences of integers, each corresponding to the knots for the flexible model on the corresponding transition baseline hazard.
