jointmodeling: Defining the Fixed and Random Models for the Mean and...

In frailtyHL: Frailty Models via Hierarchical Likelihood

Description

The jointmodeling specifies jointly both the hazard model in the frailty model and the mean model in the linear mixed model.

Usage

jointmodeling(Model = "mean", RespDist = "gaussian", Link = NULL, LinPred = "constant", 
RandDist = NULL, Offset = NULL)

Arguments

Model	This option specifies the mean model when Model="mean" (default).
RespDist	This option specifies the distribution of response variables (linear mixed model: "gaussian" or accelerated failure time model : "AFT" or frailty model : "FM")
Link	The link function for the linear predictor is specified by the option Link. For "AFT" or "FM" (or "gaussian") in RespDist, it is specified by "log" (or "identity").
LinPred	The option LinPred specifies the fixed and random terms for the linear predictor.
RandDist	The option RandDist specifies the distributions of the random terms represented in the option LinPred.
Offset	The option Offset can be used to specify a known component to be included in the linear predictor specified by LinPred during fitting.
