npsurv (version 0.3-3)

ap: Angina Pectoris Survival Data

Description

Contains the survival times in years from the time of diagnosis for 2418 male patients with angina pectoris. Some patients are lost to follow-up, hence giving right-censored observations. Each integer-valued survival time is treated as being censored within a one-year interval.

Usage

ap

format

A data frame with 30 observations and 3 variables: L: left-end point of an interval-censored retraction time; R: right-end point of an interval-censored retraction time; count: number of patients in the interval.

Examples

data(ap)
r = Uhaz(ap, deg=2)           # smooth U-shaped hazard
plot(r$h, fn="h")             # hazard
plot(r$h, fn="d")             # density

# NPMLE and shape-restricted estimation
plot(npsurv(ap), fn="s")      # survival under no shape restriction
plot(r$h, fn="s", add=TRUE)   # survival with smooth U-shaped hazard
