The ICLIFETEST Procedure

Example 50.3 Plotting Kernel-Smoothed Hazard Functions

The following statements compute the kernel-smoothed hazard functions of the two treatment groups for the breast cancer data:

proc iclifetest data=BCS plots=hazard(bandwidth=15) impute(seed=1234);
   strata trt;
   time (lTime, rTime);
run;

A bandwidth of 15 is specified. By default, the ICLIFETEST procedure uses the Epanechnikov kernel.

Output 50.3.1: Kernel-Smoothed Hazards for Breast Cancer Data
