hxbeta: A function to calculate the beta-smoothed hazard rate

In marvels2031/PWEALL_1.4.0: Design and Monitoring of Survival Trials Accounting for Complex Situations

A function to calculate the beta-smoothed hazard rate

Description

A function to calculate the beta-smoothed hazard rate

Usage

hxbeta(x=c(0.5,1),y=seq(.1,1,by=0.01),d=rep(1,length(y)),
           tfix=2,K=20,eps=1.0e-06)

Arguments

x	time points where the estimated hazards are calculated
y	observed times
d	non-censoring indicators
tfix	maximum time point at which the hazard function is estimated
K	smooth parameter for the hazard estimate
eps	the error tolerance when comparing event times
