expprep2 function

expprep2 function

Helper calculation function using C code. Saved also as exp_prep (unexported function).

expprep2(
  x,
  y,
  ratetable,
  status,
  times,
  fast = FALSE,
  ys,
  prec,
  cmp = F,
  netweiDM = FALSE
)

Arguments

• x: matrix of demographic covariates - each individual has one line
• y: follow-up time for each individual (same length as nrow(x))
• ratetable: rate table used for calculation
• status: status for each individual (same length as nrow(x)!), not needed if we only need Spi, status needed for rs.surv
• times: times at which we wish to evaluate the quantities, not needed if we only need Spi, times needed for rs.surv
• fast: for mpp method only
• ys: entry times (if empty, individuals are followed from time 0)
• prec: deprecated
• cmp: should cmpfast.C be used
• netweiDM: should new netwei script be used

Returns

List containing the calculated hazards and probabilities using the population mortality tables.
