genCPHM {genSurv}

Generation of survival data from a Cox Proportional Hazard Model

Description

Generation of survival data from a Cox Proportional Hazard Model.

Usage

genCPHM(n, model.cens, cens.par, beta, covar)

Arguments

n

Sample size.

model.cens

Model for censorship. Possible values are "uniform" and "exponential".

cens.par

Parameter for the censorship distribution. Must be greater than 0.

beta

Regression parameter for the time-fixed covariate.

covar

Parameter for generating the time-fixed covariate. An uniform distribution is used.

Value

An object with two classes, data.frame and CPHM.
