joint
objectAn object returned by the joint
function, with class joint
a fitted joint model. Objects of this class currently have methods for: logLik
,
print
, ranef
, fixef
, summary
, AIC
, and vcov
.
joint.object
An object of class NULL
of length 0.
A list with the following components.
coeffs
A list containing parameter estimates:
D
The variance-covariance matrix of the random effects.
beta
Vector of fixed effects for longitudinal processes.
sigma
List of dispersion parameters, families with no dispersion parameter are returned as an unnamed zero value.
gamma
Vector of association parameters.
zeta
Vector of time-invariant survival coefficients.
hazard
A matrix containing unique failure times ft
, their hazard
contribution haz
and the number of events at that failure time nev
.
ModelInfo
A list containing information on the model fit:
ResponseInfo
A vector containing response names with (family) reported.
Resps
A vector containing response names only.
family
A list of families fit.
K
An integer specifying the number of longitudinal sub-models.
Pcounts
A list containing informations about the number of parameters/random effects:
P
A vector of length K containing the number of fixed effects for each response (in order).
Pd
A vector of length K containing the number of dispersion parameters for each response (in order) 0 denotes no parameter for that response.
q
An integer denoting the number of random effects.
vD
An integer denoting the number of unique variance-covariance parameters estimated.
long.formulas
A list of long.formulas
(i.e. from joint
call).
disp.formulas
A list of disp.formulas
(i.e. from joint
call).
If no disp.formulas
are supplied to joint
, then this is populated by a list of
K
"~1
". The environment is set to parent.frame
in this case to avoid
memory overheads in returned objects.
surv.formula
Formula object from joint
call.
survtime
The name of the event time used in surv.formula
.
status
The name of the event indicator used in surv.formula
.
control
List of control parameters used, see joint
.
convergence.criteria
List of parameters relating to the stopping rule.
inds
A list of length two, named R
and Cpp
, each of which contains
the indices for fixed effects \beta
for each response, or the random effects b
for the named platform.
n
Number of subjects.
nobs
A vector containing total number of observations for each response.
mi
A K
x n
matrix containing the number of observations for
subject i
for the k
th response.
nev
Number of events.
id.assign
A list containing the original ids of subjects in the data
supplied to joint
, and the id assigned to them for use in subsequent functions.
Hessian
The (approximated) Hessian found at MLEs. Only returned if
control argument post.process=TRUE
.
vcov
The full variance-covariance matrix between parameters. Only returned if
control argument post.process=TRUE
.
SE
A named vector of approximated standard error for each estimated parameter.
Only returned if control argument post.process=TRUE
.
logLik
log-likelihood evaluated at parameter estimates. Only returned if control
argument post.process=TRUE
.
REs
The random effects, with subject-specific variance matrices attributed. If
control argumnet post.process=TRUE
then these are found at MLEs (i.e. are posterior
estimates), otherwise they are taken from the final EM iteration.
elapsed.time
Named numeric containing breakdown of elapsed time for joint
fit.
dmats
A list of data matrices on each of the longitudinal and survival processes for each subject.
