Choosing a data-generating mechanism for survival simulation
Pick a parametric model, set its parameters, and watch the hazard, survival, cumulative-hazard and density functions update live. Overlay mechanisms to compare, then export the DGM as ready-to-run avalon / merlin code.

A teaching and study-design aid. Curves are exact closed-form functions of the stated model and parameters. Generalised gamma and gamma use the regularised incomplete-gamma function; Royston–Parmar uses a restricted-cubic-spline basis; mixtures compose the standard families.
