summary.cfc.tbasis: Summarizing time-denominated CFC objects

Description

summary method for class cfc.tbasis.

Usage

# S3 method for cfc.tbasis
summary(object,
  MARGIN = if (class(object)[2] == "matrix") NULL else 1,
  ...)
# S3 method for summary.cfc.tbasis
plot(x, t = 1, ci = 0.95, ...)

Value

The function summary.cfc.tbasis calculates the average of cumulative incidence and event-free probability functions as directed by MARGIN. For example, if the element ci1 of the object list is three-dimensional, then using MARGIN=c(1,2) causes the last dimension to be averaged out.

Arguments

object: An object of class "cfc.tbasis", usually the result of a call to cfc.tbasis.
MARGIN: Dimensions of cumulative incidence and event-free probability arrays to keep while averaging the remaining dimensions. If the cfc.tbasis object is a matrix, no averaging is performed, and the function returns the object unchanged. Note that for list objects, MARGIN must include 1 since it is meaningless to average out the time/probability dimension (which is always the first one).
x: An object of class "summary.cfc.tbasis", usually the result of a call to summary.cfc.tbasis.
t: Regular time step, or vector of time values, used for producing cumulative incidence and event-free probability plots.
ci: Confidence interval used in cumulative incidence and event-free probability plots.
...: Further arguments to be passed to/from other methods.
