bshazard (version 1.2)

bshazard-package: Nonparametric Smoothing of the Hazard Function

Description

The function estimates the hazard function non parametrically from a survival object (possibly adjusted for covariates). The smoothed estimate is based on B-splines from the perspective of generalized linear mixed models. Left truncated and right censoring data are allowed.
