Calculate Survival Curve from Mortality Probabilities

This function calculates the survival curve from a given vector of mortality probabilities. The survival curve represents the probability of surviving up to each age or time point, starting from a cohort with an initial size of 1 (or 100

Usage

get_lifeTable_survival_curve(mortality_probs)

Arguments

mortality_probs

A numeric vector representing the mortality probabilities for each age or time point.

Value

A numeric vector representing the survival probabilities at each age or time point.

Details

The survival curve (\(S(t)\)) is calculated as the cumulative product of (1 - mortality probability) for each time period.

$$S(t) = \prod_{i=1}^{t} (1 - q_i)$$

where \(q_i\) is the mortality probability at time \(i\).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Define a vector of mortality probabilities
mortality_probs <- df_lifeTable$`Both sexes`

# Calculate the survival curve
survival_curve <- NeuroblastomaPSM::get_lifeTable_survival_curve(
   mortality_probs = mortality_probs
)

survival_curve
plot(survival_curve, type = 'l')
} # }
