| Title: | Objects to Simulate Survival Times |
|---|---|
| Description: | Generate objects that simulate survival times. Random values for the distributions are generated using the method described by Bender (2003) <https://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/1716> and Leemis (1987) in Operations Research, 35(6), 892–894. |

This set of functions help in the time conversion, taking into account generic times and not specific times. The conversions are based on the assumption that 1 year is 365.25 days and is 12 months. There is no adjustment for lap days or ours or difference of days between months

parameters to define the survival distribution |
The objects of the class SURVIVAL define different distributions of survival times. Each class has its own set of parameters but once the SURVIVAL object is defined, they have access to the same functions to calculate:
survival time function: sfx(),
hazard time function: hfx(),
cumulative hazard function: Cum_Hfx()
the inverse of the cumulative hazard function: invCum_Hfx().
generate random survival times: rsurv()
generate random survival times under proportional hazard ratio: rsurvhr().
There several functions to plot the distributions
generic S3: plot.SURVIVAL()
plot_survival(): to plot the functions
ggplot_survival_random(): to ggplot random draws from the distribution
compare_survival(): to compare the functions of two SURVIVAL objects
a SURVIVAL object
The current factories are implemented:
s_exponential(): for Exponential distributions
s_weibull(): for Weibull distributions
s_gompertz(): for Gompertz distributions
s_picewise(): for Piecewise exponential distributions
