Library: hazreg
See also: hazdat hazregll hazbeta hazcoxb

Quantlet: hazsurv
Description: calculates the conditional survival function, using the maximum likelihood estimate of the regression parameter beta obatined through hazbeta.

Usage: surv = hazsurv(data,z)
Input:
data n x (p+4) matrix, column 1: the sorted observed survival time t, column 2: the cosorted censoring indicator delta, column 3: labels l, column 4: number of ties at time t[i], cosorted, columns 5 to p+4: the cosorted covariate matrix z.
z p x 1 matrix, the covariate values for which the conditional survival curve is estimated.
Output:
surv n x 2 matrix, the first column is the sorted t, followed by the estimated survival function at the points of t, conditional on z.

Example:
library("hazreg")
n = 20
p = 2
beta = 1|2                      ; regression parameter
z = uniform(n,p) - 0.5          ; covariates
y = -log(1-uniform(n))          ; exponential survival
y = y./exp(z*beta)              ; covariate effects
c = 4*uniform(n)                ; uniform censoring
t = min(y~c,2)                  ; censored time
delta =(y<=c)                  ; censoring indicator
{data,ties} = hazdat(t,delta, z)   ; preparing data
z1 = 0.1|0.3
surv = hazsurv(data, z1)
; estimation of the
; conditional survival
; function

Result:
The conditional survival function is estimated.
