weib_hazards: Weibull hazard, cumulative hazard and inverse cumulative hazard

Description

Functions which return the hazard, cumulative hazard and inverse cumulative hazard at time t for a Weibull distribution with shape parameter \(\lambda\), scale parameter \(\theta\) and true hazard ratio \(\mu\).

Usage

haz_weib(t, lambda, theta, mu = log(1))

chaz_weib(t, lambda, theta, mu = log(1))

inv_chaz_weib(t, lambda, theta, mu = log(1))

Value

Value of specified function at time \(t\).

Arguments

t

time of evaluation.

lambda

shape parameter \(\lambda\)

theta

scale parameter \(\theta\)

mu

(optional) true excess hazard rate \(\mu\).

Details

The hazard function of a Weibull distribution is given by: $$h(t| \lambda, \theta, \mu) = \frac{\lambda}{\theta} \left(\frac{t}{\theta} \right)^{\lambda -1} e^\mu$$ The cumulative hazard (with true hazard ratio \(\mu\)) is given by: $$H(t| \lambda, \theta, \mu) = \left( \frac{t}{\theta} \right)^{\lambda} e^\mu$$ The inverse cumulative hazard (with true hazard ratio \(\mu\)) by: $$H^{-1}(t| \lambda, \theta, \mu) = \theta \left( \frac{t}{e^\mu} \right)^{1/\lambda}$$
