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).

#-- gap-time
modJoint.gap <- frailtyPenal(

  formula.terminalEvent = ~ sex + dukes + charlson,
  data = readmission, n.knots = 14, kappa = c(9.55e+9, 1.41e+12)

#-- calendar time
