haz_function function

Helper function that calculates excess and population hazards for a given transition

A function that calculates the excess and population hazards for a given transition. Code is based on function rs.surv from the relsurv package.

haz_function(
  formula = formula(data),
  data,
  ratetable = relsurv::slopop,
  na.action,
  add.times,
  rmap,
  include.all.times = FALSE
)

Arguments

• formula: A non-parametric Surv-based formula, e.g. Surv(times, status)~1
• data: A subset of the msprep object (dataset) where there's only data for the chosen transition
• ratetable: A table of event rates, organized as a ratetable object, such as slopop
• na.action: A missing-data filter function, applied to the model.frame, after any subset argument has been used. Default is options()$na.action
• add.times: Additional times at which the hazards should be evaluated
• rmap: An optional list to be used if the variables are not organized and named in the same way as in the ratetable object
• include.all.times: Should hazards be evaluated at all times in seq(minimum time, maximum time, by=1). Default is FALSE

Returns

A list containing the needed hazards.
