Probability density, distribution, quantile, random generation, hazard,
cumulative hazard, mean and restricted mean functions for the Royston/Parmar
spline model. These functions have all parameters of the distribution collected
together in a single argument gamma
. For the equivalent functions with
one argument per parameter, see Survsplinek
.

dsurvspline
gives the density, psurvspline
gives the
distribution function, hsurvspline
gives the hazard and
Hsurvspline
gives the cumulative hazard, as described in
flexsurvspline
.
qsurvspline
gives the quantile function, which is computed by crude
numerical inversion (using qgeneric
).
rsurvspline
generates random survival times by using
qsurvspline
on a sample of uniform random numbers. Due to the
numerical root-finding involved in qsurvspline
, it is slow compared
to typical random number generation functions.
Vector of times.
Parameters describing the baseline spline function, as
described in flexsurvspline
. This may be supplied as a
vector with number of elements equal to the length of knots
, in
which case the parameters are common to all times. Alternatively a matrix
may be supplied, with rows corresponding to different times, and columns
corresponding to knots
.
Vector of covariate effects. Not supported and ignored since version 2.3, and this argument will be removed in 2.4.
Matrix of covariate values. Not supported and ignored since version 2.3, and this argument will be removed in 2.4.
Locations of knots on the axis of log time, supplied in
increasing order. Unlike in flexsurvspline
, these include
the two boundary knots. If there are no additional knots, the boundary
locations are not used. If there are one or more additional knots, the
boundary knots should be at or beyond the minimum and maximum values of the
log times. In flexsurvspline
these are exactly at the
minimum and maximum values.
This may in principle be supplied as a matrix, in the same way as for
gamma
, but in most applications the knots will be fixed.
"hazard"
, "odds"
, or "normal"
, as
described in flexsurvspline
. With the default of no knots in
addition to the boundaries, this model reduces to the Weibull, log-logistic
and log-normal respectively. The scale must be common to all times.
"log"
or "identity"
as described in
flexsurvspline
.
"rp"
to use the natural cubic spline basis
described in Royston and Parmar. "splines2ns"
to use the
alternative natural cubic spline basis from the splines2
package (Wang and Yan 2021), which may be better behaved due to
the basis being orthogonal.
An extra constant to add to the linear predictor \(\eta\). Not supported and ignored since version 2.3, and this argument will be removed in 2.4.
Return log density or probability.
logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P(X \le x)\), otherwise, \(P(X > x)\).
Vector of probabilities.
Number of random numbers to simulate.
Optional left-truncation time or times. The returned restricted mean survival will be conditioned on survival up to this time.
