[R] Estimate hazard function from right-censored data only

[John Fox]

Dear Monica,

I'm not sure what the muhaz function is (it's not in the survival package), 
but regardless, unless I'm seriously mistaken, there's no information to 
estimate the hazard function if you haven't observed any events.

I hope that this helps,
  John
