check.structure_post_frailty_est: Check Structure of Posterior Frailty Estimates

In TimeDepFrail: Time Dependent Shared Frailty Cox Model

Check Structure of Posterior Frailty Estimates

Description

The function controls that the structure of the 'Posterior Frailty Estimates' coincides with the theoretical one.

Usage

check.structure_post_frailty_est(post_frailty_est, n_intervals, n_centres)

Arguments

post_frailty_est	Posterior frailty estimates S3 object of class 'PFE.AdPaik', composed of three elements: 'alpha': posterior frailty estimates for \alpha_j, \forall j. It is a vector of length equal to the number of centres. 'eps': posterior frailty estimates for \epsilon_{jk}, \forall j,k. It is a matrix of dimension (n_centres, n_intervals). 'Z': posterior frailty estimates for Z_{jk} = \alpha_j + \epsilon_{jk}, \forall j,k. It is a matrix of dimension (n_centres, n_intervals)
n_intervals	Number of intervals of the time-domain
n_centres	Number of centres/clusters.

Value

An error if any condition is not satisfied.
