R: Stop the time of an event history object

stopTime {prodlim} | R Documentation

## Stop the time of an event history object

### Description

All event times are stopped at a given time point and corresponding events are censored

### Usage

    stopTime(object, stop.time)

### Arguments

`object` | Event history object as obtained with `Hist`
`stop.time` | Time point at which to stop the event history object

### Value

Stopped event history object where all times are censored at `stop.time`. All observations with times greater than `stop.time` are set to `stop.time` and the event status is set to `attr(object,"cens.code")`. A new column `"stop.time"` is equal to `1` for stopped observations and equal to `0` for the other observations.

### Examples

    set.seed(29)
    d <- SimSurv(10)
    h <- with(d,Hist(time,status))
    h
    stopTime(h,8)
    stopTime(h,5)

    ## works also with Surv objects
    library(survival)
    s <- with(d,Surv(time,status))
    stopTime(s,5)

    ## competing risks
    set.seed(29)
    dr <- SimCompRisk(10)
    hr <- with(dr,Hist(time,event))
    hr
    stopTime(hr,8)
    stopTime(hr,5)
