ICcalib (version 1.0.8)

FitCalibNpmle: Fitting Nonparametric Calibration Models

Description

Fits a Weibull calibration model for time-to-exposure from interval-censored data. The exposure is a binary covariate measured in intermittent times.

Usage

FitCalibNpmle(w, w.res)

Arguments

w

A matrix of time points when measurements on the binary covariate were obtained.

w.res

A matrix of measurement results of the binary covariate. It corresponds to the time points in w

Value

The result of NPMLE model fitting for interval-censored data, as obtained by icenReg::ic_np
