calcSurv: Estimators of survival & hazard functions with variance for a Surv object describing right censored data

Description

Estimators of survival & hazard functions with variance for a Surv object describing right censored data

Usage

calcSurv(s)

Arguments

s

A Surv object

Value

• A data frame. Rows - one for each time where an event occurs. Columns are:
• t
  time
• n
  no. at risk
• e
  no. events
• KM
  Survival estimate by Kaplan-Meier (Product-Limit) estimator
• KMV
  Variance of Kaplan-Meier estimate (Greenwoods formula)
• SNel
  Survival estimate from Nelson-Aalen estimator: $\hat{S}=e^{\hat{H}}$
• HNel
  Nelson-Aalen estimate of hazard function
• HNelV
  Variance of Nelson-Aalen estimate
• HKM
  Hazard estimate from Kaplan-Meier estimator: $\hat{H}=-log{\hat{S} }$
