summary.jointPenal: summary of parameter estimates of a joint frailty model

In frailtypack: Shared, Joint (Generalized) Frailty Models; Surrogate Endpoints

summary of parameter estimates of a joint frailty model

Description

This function returns hazard rations (HR) and its confidence intervals.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'jointPenal'
summary(object, level = 0.95, len = 6, d = 2,
lab="hr", ...)

Arguments

object	output from a call to frailtyPenal for joint models
level	significance level of confidence interval. Default is 95%.
len	the total field width. Default is 6.
d	the desired number of digits after the decimal point. Default of 6 digits is used.
lab	label of printed results.
...	other unused arguments.

Value

Prints HR and its confidence intervals for each covariate. Confidence level is allowed (level argument).
