survobj (version 3.1.1)

s_weibull: Factory of SURVIVAL objects with Weibull distributions

Description

Creates a SURVIVAL object with a Weibull distribution.

Usage

s_weibull(...)

Value

a SURVIVAL object of the Weibull distribution family. See the documentation of s_factory for the methods available for SURVIVAL objects

Arguments

...

Parameters to define the distribution. See the Parameters for details

Parameters

To create an exponential survival object the following options are available:

scale and shape to specify the canonical parameters of the distribution, or

surv, t and shape for the proportion surviving (no events) at time t and the shape parameter, or

fail, t and shape for the proportion failing (events) at time t and the shape parameter or

intercept and scale for the parameters returned by survreg(.., dist = "weibull") models.

scale = -log(surv)/(t^shape)

scale = -log(1-fail)/(t^shape)

The parameters should be spell correctly as partial matching is not available

Examples

s_weibull(scale = 2,shape = 2)
s_weibull(surv = 0.6, t= 12, shape = 0.5)
s_weibull(fail = 0.4, t = 12, shape =0.5)
s_weibull(intercept = 0.4, scale = 0.5)
