YPBP-package: The 'YPBP' package.

In YPBP: Yang and Prentice Model with Baseline Distribution Modeled by Bernstein Polynomials

Description

Semiparametric modeling of lifetime data with crossing survival curves via Yang and Prentice model with baseline hazard/odds modeled with Bernstein polynomials. Details about the model can be found in Demarqui and Mayrink (2019) <arXiv:1910.04475>. Model fitting can be carried out via maximum likelihood or Bayesian approaches. The package also provides point and interval estimation for the crossing survival times.
