This class of objects is returned by muhaz, which estimates the
hazard function from censored data.
list containing the input parameters. Its components are: * times - the survival times vector * delta - the censoring vector * nobs - the number of observations * min.time - the minimum time used in analysis * max.time - the maximum time used in analysis * n.min.grid - number of points in the minimization grid * min.grid - the minimization grid * n.est.grid - number of points in the estimation grid * bw.pilot - the pilot bandwidth * bw.smooth - the smoothing bandwidth for the local optimal bandwidths * bw.method - the method used to estimate the hazard rates * b.cor - boundary correction used * kernel.type - kernel function used in the smoothing
the estimation grid where the hazard rates are computed.
the hazard estimates calculated at the estimation grid points.
IMSE for the optimal bandwidth.
optimal global bandwidth. For bw.method="global" only.
vector of IMSE, computed at each point in bw.grid. For bw.method="global" only.
Grid of bandwidth values used in the minimization. For bw.method="global" or "local".
