Variable name
Covariates predicting survival
Scale parameter for the Weibull distribution.
The shape of the Weibull distribution. Shape = 1 for an exponential distribution
An integer value indicating the starting point for a new specification of the hazard function. It will default to 0 (and must be 0) for the first instance of a "varname".
A data.table named dtName that is an updated data definitions table
