Convert Survival Curve to Instantaneous Hazard Rates — convert_survival_to

This function converts a numeric vector of survival probabilities into instantaneous hazard rates. The relationship between survival probabilities and the discrete hazard rates is given by:

Usage

convert_survival_to_hazard(survival_curve)

Arguments

survival_curve: A numeric vector representing survival probabilities.

Value

A numeric vector of instantaneous hazard rates.

Details

$$h(t_i) = -\log\left(\frac{S(t_i)}{S(t_{i-1})}\right)$$

where $S(t_i)$ is the survival probability at time $t_i$ and $h(t_i)$ is the hazard rate at time $t_i$.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
survival_curve <- c(0.99, 0.95, 0.90, 0.85)

v_hazard_rates <- NeuroblastomaPSM::convert_survival_to_hazard(
survival_curve = survival_curve
)

v_hazard_rates
} # }
