Description

Extract the fixed effects, randome effects, variance of the fixed effects, or variance of the random effects from a coxme model.

## S3 method for class 'coxme'
fixef(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'coxme'
ranef(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'coxme'
vcov(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'coxme'
VarCorr(x, ...)

Arguments

object	an object inheriting from class coxme representing the result of a mixed effects Cox model.
x	an object inheriting from class coxme representing the result of a mixed effects Cox model.
...	some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method.

Value

the fixed effects are a vector and the variance of the fixed effects is a matrix. The random effects will be a list with one element for each random effects terms, as will be their variance.
