A dataset containing nonparametric competing-risk estimates used for examples in the package vignettes: the empirical companion to parametric, over the same three states (event-free, death, and stroke). Originally exported from SAS via tp.hp.dead.sas / tp.np.*.sas.

Format

A data frame with 126 rows (one per event time) and 10 columns:

iv_state

Follow-up time in years (0 to about 4.9); the x-axis in the vignette plots.

sginit

Percent event-free (still in the initial state).

stlinit

Lower confidence limit for sginit; all NA in this extract.

stuinit

Upper confidence limit for sginit; all NA in this extract.

sgdead1

Cumulative percent dead; NA at times with no death.

sgstrk1

Cumulative percent with stroke; NA at times with no stroke.

stldead1

Lower confidence limit for sgdead1 (6 time points).

studead1

Upper confidence limit for sgdead1 (6 time points).

stlstrk1

Lower confidence limit for sgstrk1 (3 time points).

stustrk1

Upper confidence limit for sgstrk1 (3 time points).

Details

Column prefixes follow the SAS naming: sg* is the estimate, stl* and stu* its lower and upper confidence limits. The limits are filled only at the handful of times where an error bar is drawn and are NA elsewhere, which is how plot.sas thins error bars.
