censweib.reg: Censored Weibull regression model

In Rfast2: A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions II

Censored Weibull regression model

Description

Censored Weibull regression model.

Usage

censweib.reg(y, x, di, tol = 1e-07, maxiters = 100)

Arguments

y	The dependent variable; a numerical vector with strictly positive data, i.e. greater than zero.
x	A matrix with the data, where the rows denote the samples (and the two groups) and the columns are the variables. This can be a matrix or a data.frame (with factors).
di	A vector with 1s and 0s indicating the censored value. The value of 1 means uncesored value, whereas the value of 0 means censored value.
tol	The tolerance value to terminate the Newton-Raphson algorithm.
maxiters	The max number of iterations that can take place in each regression.

Details

The function is written in C++ and this is why it is very fast. No standard errors are returned as they are not corectly estimated. We focused on speed.

Value

When full is FALSE a list including:

iters	The iterations required by the Newton-Raphson.
loglik	The log-likelihood of the model.
shape	The shape parameter of the Weibull regression.
be	The regression coefficients.
