The data points are asssumed to be sorted by survival time. The comparison only takes place between two consecutivee observations when the first one is not censored (delta = 1).
makediff1(Y, delta)
Arguments
Y: [vector(1)]
Ordered vector of survival times.
delta: [vector(1)]
Vector of status
Returns
[Diffmatrix(1)] Object of class Diffmatrix with elements:
Type
type of makediff function used to compute differences between neighbours.
Mat
matrix used to compute differences between comparable data points.
Examples
Y <- c(1,3,3.5,4,8); delta <- c(0,0,1,1,0); makediff1(Y, delta)
