etd_uninfected(a1, b1, d1 = "", tmax = 100)

Arguments

• a1, b1: location & scale parameters for background mortality
• d1: character: name of probability distribution describing background mortality
• tmax: numeric. Maximum value of t for which expected time of death is searched; defaults to 100. Minimum time is zero (0)

Returns

numeric

Details

It is the time t when, H1[t] = 1, and cumulative survival is, S1[t] = exp(-1) = 0.367

Examples

print(etd_uninfected(a1 = 2, b1 = 0.5, d1 = "Weibull")) # 7.38
print(etd_uninfected(a1 = 20, b1 = 5, d1 = "Gumbel")) # 20
print(etd_uninfected(a1 = 3, b1 = 0.6, d1 = "Frechet")) # 32.06
