Hazard Function Estimation in Survival Analysis
Overview
Produces a smooth estimate of the hazard function for censored data.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a crash in
muhaz()when a group has zero events. The default pilot bandwidth calculation (bw.pilot <- endz/8/(nz^.2)) divided by zero whensum(delta) == 0, producingInfand crashing the downstream Fortran routine.nzis now clamped to a minimum of 1, which yields a finite bandwidth and a correctly flat zero hazard estimate when no events are present. Reported and fixed by Ken Beath <ken@kjbeath.id.au>.
Documentation
- Fixed
man/muhaz.object.Rd: replaced\argumentswith\value/\describe, resolving an R CMD check NOTE ("Rd files without \usage... \arguments should not be documented without \usage").
