compute_surv: Evaluate Survival Distributions

Description

Generate either survival probabilities or conditional probabilities of event for each model cycle.

Usage

compute_surv(x, time, cycle_length = 1, type = c("prob", "surv"), ...)

Arguments

x
A survival distribution object
time
The model_time or state_time for which to predict.
cycle_length
The value of a Markov cycle in absolute time units.
type
either prob, for transition probabilities, or surv, for survival
...
arguments passed to methods.

Value

Returns either the survival probalities or conditional probabilities of event for each cycle.

Details

The results of compute_surv() are memoised for options("heemod.memotime") (default: 1 hour) to increase resampling performance.
