fc_rank {failCompare}R Documentation

Ranking failure time models

Description

This provides a ranking of failure time models.

Usage

fc_rank(x)

Arguments

x

an object of class "fc_list"

Details

This uses the Skalski and Whitlock (2020) goodness-of-fit measure to rank parametric failure time models. The statistic is based on the squared difference between a given parametric model and the product-limit estimate of the survival estimate described by Kaplan and Meier (1954).

Value

Creates a table of models ranked in ascending order according to a goodness-of-fit measure.
