R: Summarizing time-denominated CFC objects

summary.cfc.tbasis {CFC}

R Documentation

Summarizing time-denominated CFC objects

Description

summary method for class cfc.tbasis.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cfc.tbasis'
summary(object,
  MARGIN = if (class(object)[2] == "matrix") NULL else 1,
  ...)
## S3 method for class 'summary.cfc.tbasis'
plot(x, t = 1, ci = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

`object`	An object of class "cfc.tbasis", usually the result of a call to `cfc.tbasis`.
`MARGIN`	Dimensions of cumulative incidence and event-free probability arrays to keep while averaging the remaining dimensions. If the `cfc.tbasis` object is a matrix, no averaging is performed, and the function returns the object unchanged. Note that for list objects, `MARGIN` must include `1` since it is meaningless to average out the time/probability dimension (which is always the first one).
`x`	An object of class "summary.cfc.tbasis", usually the result of a call to `summary.cfc.tbasis`.
`t`	Regular time step, or vector of time values, used for producing cumulative incidence and event-free probability plots.
`ci`	Confidence interval used in cumulative incidence and event-free probability plots.
`...`	Further arguments to be passed to/from other methods.

Value

The function summary.cfc.tbasis calculates the average of cumulative incidence and event-free probability functions as directed by MARGIN. For example, if the element ci1 of the object list is three-dimensional, then using MARGIN=c(1,2) causes the last dimension to be averaged out.
