numeric; dispersion (shape) parameter of negative binomial distribution

t_recruit1

numeric vector; recruit (i.e. study entry) times in group 1

t_recruit2

numeric vector; recruit (i.e. study entry) times in group 2

timing

numeric vector with entries in (0,1]; information times of data looks

Value

numeric; vector with calendar time of data looks

Examples

# Calendar time at which 50%, 75%, and 100% of the maximum information is attained
# 100 subjects in each group are recruited uniformly over 1.5 years
# Study ends after two years, i.e. follow-up times vary between 2 and 0.5 years
