RateTable: Table for rate calculation

Description

Ratetable produces a table of transition counts and exposure times for the computation of transition rates (occurrence-exposure rates)

Usage

RateTable(Bdata,occup, trans)

Arguments

Bdata

Biograph object

occup

Object produced by the Occup function

trans

Object produced by the Trans function

Value

Stable: The table of transitions and exposure times
censored_by_age: Number of censored cases by age and state at censoring

Details

RateTable is one of the key functions of the package. The Stable object it produces contains the data needed for the computation of transition rates by origin, destination and age

 data (GLHS)
 z<- Parameters (GLHS)
 occup <- Occup(GLHS)
 ist <- Sequences.ind (GLHS$path,attr(GLHS,"param")$namstates)
 trans <- Trans (GLHS)
 w <- RateTable(GLHS,occup, trans)
