TTC_multneh {curesurv} | R Documentation |
TTC_multneh function
Description
calculates the probability Pi(t) of being cured at a given time t after diagnosis knowing that he/she was alive up to time t from a Time-to-Null excess hazard model using numerical method, uniroot. In other words, Pi(t)=(probability of being cured and alive up to time t given xi)/ (probability of being alive up to time t given xi)
Usage
TTC_multneh(z_alpha, z_tau, xmax, object, epsilon = epsilon)
Arguments
z_alpha |
Covariates matrix acting on parameter alpha of the density of time-to-null excess hazard model |
z_tau |
Covariates matrix acting on time-to-null parameter. |
xmax |
time max at which Pi(t) is calculated. |
object |
ouput from a non mixture model with distribution "tneh" from curesurv function, with link_tau="loglinear" |
epsilon |
value fixed by user to estimate the TTC |
