power.cox: Compute the power of a single-predictor Cox regression model

Description

Use the formula of Hseih and Lavori (2000) to compute the power of a single-predictor Cox model.

Usage

power.cox (n, alpha, logHR, v)

Arguments

n

number of events (scalar)

alpha

p-value threshold (scalar)

logHR

log hazard ratio (vector)

v

variance of predictor variable (vector)

Value
