SurvivalCurve.Equals

Compares the steps, the estimate and both bounds, element by element.

public bool Equals(SurvivalCurve other)

Parameters — other is the curve to compare against, or null.

Returns — true when the confidence level matches and the steps, estimates and both bounds hold the same values.

Example — the same curve, estimated twice.

using Lodestar.Survival;

SurvivalCurve left = BreslowFlemingHarrington.Estimate([1, 2, 3], [true, false, true]);
SurvivalCurve right = BreslowFlemingHarrington.Estimate([1, 2, 3], [true, false, true]);

bool same = left == right;  // => True

Remarks — the equality a record generates would compare the arrays by reference, so two curves estimated from the same sample would differ. The level is compared by its bits, so a NaN level still equals itself.

Applies to — net10.0, netstandard2.0.
