Calculate Default Time Points

This helper function generates a default sequence of evaluation points based on the study's overall time range (Lautier et al. 2023, <DOI: 10.1016/j.ecosta.2023.05.005>). In particular, it calculates \(\Delta\) and \(m\) based on left-truncation and time-to-event variables and outputs a sequence ranging from \(\Delta + 1\) to \(\omega\).

Usage

calc_tp(lifetime, trunc_time)

Arguments

lifetime

The vector of event or censoring times.

trunc_time

The vector of left-truncation times.

Value

A numeric vector of default time points to evaluate the hazard at.
