For a given age interval, each spell is cut to fit into the given age interval.
age.window(dat, window, surv = c("enter", "exit", "event"))
dat | Input data frame. Must contain survival data. |
---|---|
window | Vector of length two; the age interval. |
surv | Vector of length three giving the names of the central variables in 'dat'. |
A data frame of the same form as the input data frame, but 'cut' as
desired. Intervals exceeding window[2]
will be given event = 0
.
If the selection gives an empty result, NULL
is returned, with no warning.
The window
must be in the order (begin, end)
