simCR: Simulation of Competing Risk Data

Description

Simulates Competing Risk Data

Usage

simCR(n, bhr, beta.x.12, beta.x.13, beta.x.14, diagnostics)

Arguments

n

number of event histories to generate

bhr

baseline hazard rate factor (time-constant function)

beta.x.12

covariate effect of x on transition from 1 to 2

beta.x.13

covariate effect of x on transition from 1 to 3

beta.x.14

covariate effect of x on transition from 1 to 4

diagnostics

logical triggering whether diagnostics about errors (most likeliy because uniroot does not find a root) should be printed during the simulation process?

Value

• A data frame

Details

The underyling multi-state model is a 4 state-type model with one initial state-type and three different exit state-types.

Examples
