n by 5 matrix. A data matrix where the first column is XL = min(TL, C) where TL is the time of the long term event, C is the censoring time, and the second column is DL =1*(TL<C), the third column is XS = min(TS, C) where TS is the time of the short term event, C is the censoring time, the fourth column is DS =1*(TS<C), and the fifth column is the covariate. These are the data used to calculate the estimated probability.
t0
the landmark time.
tau
the residual survival time of interest.
h.grid
The grid of possible bandwidths that the user would like the function to search through. Default is h.grid = seq(.01,2,length=50).
folds
Number of folds wanted for K-fold cross-validation. Default is 3.
reps
Number of repitions wanted of K-fold cross-validation. Default is 2.
Value
h
Selected bandwidth.
