In SemiCompRisks: Hierarchical Models for Parametric and Semi-Parametric Analyses of Semi-Competing Risks Data

Description

Independent univariate right-censored survival data can be analyzed using hierarchical models.

Usage

FreqSurv_HReg(Formula, data, na.action = "na.fail", subset=NULL)

Arguments

Formula	a Formula object, with the outcome on the left of a \sim, and covariates on the right. It is of the form, time to event + censoring indicator \sim covariates: i.e., y+δ ~ x.
data	a data.frame in which to interpret the variables named in Formula.
na.action	how NAs are treated. See model.frame.
subset	a specification of the rows to be used: defaults to all rows. See model.frame.

Details

See BayesSurv_HReg for a detailed description of the models.

Value

FreqSurv_HReg returns an object of class Freq_HReg.
