RMRL_function: Calculate RMRL

In umich-biostatistics/corrsurv: Two-Sample Tests for Correlated Survival Endpoints

Description

Area under RMRL and variance of area under RMRL. RMRL is the restricted mean residual life function evaluated at times defined by t. This function is used internally when TM() is called.

Usage

RMRL_function(data_format, Tau, t)

Arguments

data_format	output of function "format_data_ourmethod"
Tau	length of follow-up intervals of interest
t	vector containing start times of follow-up windows chosen

Value

a list containing

• RMRL - restricted mean residual life function evaluated at times defined by t

• area_under_RMRL - area under RMRL function evaluated at times t

• var_area_under_RMRL - empirical variance of estimate area_under_RMRL
