transAJ {TPmsm} | R Documentation |
Provides estimates for the transition probabilities based on the Aalen-Johansen estimator, AJ.
transAJ(object, s, t, state.names=c("1", "2", "3"), conf=FALSE, n.boot=1000, conf.level=0.95, method.boot="percentile")
object |
An object of class ‘survTP’. |
s |
The first time for obtaining estimates for the transition probabilities. If missing, 0 will be used. |
t |
The second time for obtaining estimates for the transition probabilities.
If missing, the maximum of |
state.names |
A vector of characters giving the state names. |
conf |
Provides pointwise confidence bands. Defaults to |
n.boot |
The number of bootstrap samples. Defaults to 1000 samples. |
conf.level |
Level of confidence. Defaults to 0.95 (corresponding to 95%). |
method.boot |
The method used to compute bootstrap confidence bands. Possible options are “percentile” and “basic”. Defaults to “percentile”. |
An object of class ‘TPmsm’. There are methods for contour
, image
, print
and plot
.
‘TPmsm’ objects are implemented as a list with elements:
method |
A string indicating the type of estimator used in the computation. |
est |
A matrix with transition probability estimates. The rows being the event times and the columns the 5 possible transitions. |
inf |
A matrix with the lower transition probabilities of the confidence band. The rows being the event times and the columns the 5 possible transitions. |
sup |
A matrix with the upper transition probabilities of the confidence band. The rows being the event times and the columns the 5 possible transitions. |
time |
Vector of times where the transition probabilities are computed. |
s |
Start of the time interval. |
t |
End of the time interval. |
h |
The bandwidth used. If the estimator doesn't require a bandwidth, it's set to |
state.names |
A vector of characters giving the states names. |
n.boot |
Number of bootstrap samples used in the computation of the confidence band. |
conf.level |
Level of confidence used to compute the confidence band. |
