Computing Mean Lifetime from Hazard
Hello,
If all I have access to is an empirically calculated hazard function, is it possible to compute an approximate value for the mean lifetime?
I know that if the hazard function is essentially constant, the mean lifetime is 1/hazard rate. ?But if I'm confident that the empirical hazard function is not constant, I'm not sure how to go about calculating an estimate of mean lifetime.
