avg.haz: Calcualte the average hazard ratios

In lilywang1988/IAfrac: Tools for weighted log-rank tests

Description

Calculate the average hazard ratios according to Kalbfleisch and Prentice (1981) or in the paper Hasegawa (2014) for piece-wise exponential survival functions (only one change point eps).

Usage

avg.haz(theta, eps, lambda, p = 1/2)

Arguments

theta	hazard ratio after eps between the treatment and the control group, assuming that the hazard rato is 1 before eps.
eps	The change point, before which, the hazard ratio is 1, and after which, the hazard ratio is theta.
lambda	The constant hazard for the control arm.
p	Treatment assignment probability.
