summary.mjoint: Summary of an 'mjoint' object

In joineRML: Joint Modelling of Multivariate Longitudinal Data and Time-to-Event Outcomes

Summary of an mjoint object

Description

This function provides a summary of an mjoint object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mjoint'
summary(object, bootSE = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object	an object inheriting from class mjoint for a joint model of time-to-event and multivariate longitudinal data.
bootSE	an object inheriting from class bootSE for the corresponding model. If bootSE=NULL, the function will attempt to utilize approximate standard error estimates (if available) calculated from the empirical information matrix.
...	additional arguments; currently none are used.

Value

A list containing the coefficient matrices for the longitudinal and time-to-event sub-models; variance-covariance matrix for the random effects; residual error variances; log-likelihood of joint model; AIC and BIC statistics; and model fit objects.
