post_frailty_CI_internal: Confidence Interval for Posterior Frailty Estimates

In TimeDepFrail: Time Dependent Shared Frailty Cox Model

Confidence Interval for Posterior Frailty Estimates

Description

Function for computing the confidence interval for each posterior frailty estimates \hat{Z}_{jk}.

Usage

post_frailty_CI_internal(
  post_frailty_est,
  post_frailty_est_var,
  n_centres,
  n_intervals,
  level
)

Arguments

post_frailty_est	Posterior frailty estimates list.
post_frailty_est_var	Posterior frailty variance list.
n_centres	Number of clusters/centres.
n_intervals	Number of intervals of the time-domain. it is equal to the length of the tima_axis minus one.
level	A numeric value representing the confidence level.

Value

S3 object of class 'PFCI.AdPaik' composed of two matrices of dimension (number groups, number of intervals):

• PostFrailtyCI_left: left confidence interval for each posterior frailty estimates

• PostFrailtyCI_right: right confidence interval for each each posterior frailty estimates
