plotnae function

Nelson-Aalen Estimators for Simulated Event History Data

Calculates the Nelson-Aalen estimators for the cumulative hazard rate functions for simulated event history data

plotnae(d, mpl, return.nae = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

• d: simulated data-set list as the return object from the simeventhistories function.
• mpl: model parameter list as provided to simeventhistories.
• return.nae: should a list containing the values of the calculated Nelson-Aalen estimator be returned?
• ...: further arguments and graphical parameters passed to plot.mvna, e.g. xlim for a re-specification of the shown time axis, or conf.int for the plotting of pointwise confidence intervals.

Details

The function is a specific (w.r.t. to the structure of the result from simeventhistories) wrapper function to the function mvna from the same-named R package mvna.

Returns

Plot of the Nelson-Aalen estimator and the underyling mvna

result if return.nae is set to TRUE.
