Mean accumulated hazard before fixed censoring

ID: mean-accumulated-hazard-before-fixed-censoring

For a nonnegative continuous event time with survival function S, hazard function h and H the cumulative hazard, split the expectation at c. The censored contribution is S(c)H(c). The event contribution is by integration by parts, since and . Adding gives the displayed identity. Linearity extends it to the expected observed event count in a cohort, without requiring independence between subjects.
