curesurv (version 0.1.2)

sn_ic_adtneh2: sn_ic_adtneh2 function

Description

calculates the net survival at time t. It also provides the related confidence intervals using plain_method.

Usage

sn_ic_adtneh2(
  z_tau = z_tau,
  z_alpha = z_alpha,
  x = x,
  object = object,
  level = level,
  cumLexctopred = NULL,
  Dsn = NULL
)

Arguments

z_tau

Covariates matrix acting on time-to-null parameter.

z_alpha

Covariates matrix acting on parameter alpha of the density of time-to-null excess hazard model

x

time at which the predictions are provided

object

ouput from a model implemented in curesurv

level

(1-alpha/2)-order quantile of a normal distribution

cumLexctopred

a pre-prediction thing obtained from cumLexc_ad2_topred, calculated if not NULL

Dsn

partial derivatives of Sn obtained from dsndtheta_adtneh2 function, calculated if not NULL
