Fit proportional hazards model for general interval-censored data. Use MCMC method to estimate regression coefficients, baseline survival, and survival function at user-specified covariate values.

L |
a numeric vector of left timepoints of observed time intervals. |
R |
a numeric vector of right timepoints of observed time intervals. |
status |
a vector of censoring indicators: 1=left-censored, 0=right-censored. |
xcov |
a matrix of covariates, each column corresponds to one covariate. |
x_user |
a user specified vector of covariate values. |
order |
degree of I-splines ( |
sig0 |
standard deviation of normal prior for each regression coefficient |
coef_range |
specify support domain of target density for |
a_eta |
shape parameter of Gamma prior for |
b_eta |
rate parameter of Gamma prior for |
knots |
a sequence of points to define I-splines. |
grids |
a sequence of points where baseline survival function is to be estimated. |
niter |
total number of iterations of MCMC chains. |
seed |
a user specified random seed, default is NULL. |
The baseline cumulative hazard is modeled by a linear combination of I-splines:
sum_{l=1}^{k}(gamma_l*b_l)
.
Function arms
is used to sample each regression coefficient beta_r
, and coef_range
specifies the support of the indFunc
in arms

grids |
a sequence of points where baseline survival is estimated. |
