haz_function {mstate} | R Documentation

## Helper function that calculates excess and population hazards for a given transition

### Description

A function that calculates the excess and population hazards for a given transition. Code is based on function rs.surv from the relsurv package.

### Usage

    haz_function(
      formula = formula(data),
      data,
      ratetable = relsurv::slopop,
      na.action,
      add.times,
      rmap,
      include.all.times = FALSE
    )

### Arguments

`formula` | A non-parametric Surv-based formula, e.g. Surv(times, status)~1
`data` | A subset of the msprep object (dataset) where there's only data for the chosen transition
`ratetable` | A table of event rates, organized as a ratetable object, such as slopop
`na.action` | A missing-data filter function, applied to the model.frame, after any subset argument has been used. Default is options()$na.action
`add.times` | Additional times at which the hazards should be evaluated
`rmap` | An optional list to be used if the variables are not organized and named in the same way as in the ratetable object
`include.all.times` | Should hazards be evaluated at all times in seq(minimum time, maximum time, by=1). Default is FALSE

### Value

A list containing the needed hazards.
