Description
The core of this Rcpp based package is several functions to estimate the baseline hazard, frailty variance, and fixed effect parameter for a discrete-time shared frailty model with random effects. The functions are designed to analyze grouped time-to-event data accounting for family structure of related individuals (i.e., trios). The core functions include two processes: (1) evaluate the multivariable integration to compute the exact proportional hazards model based likelihood and (2) estimate the desired parameters using maximum likelihood estimation. The integration is evaluated by the Cuhre algorithm from the Cuba library (Hahn, T., Cuba-a library for multidimensional numerical integration, Comput. Phys. Commun. 168, 2005, 78-95), and the source files of the Cuhre function are included in this package. The maximization process is carried out using Brent's algorithm, with the C++ code file from John Burkardt and John Denker (Brent, R.,Algorithms for Minimization without Derivatives, Dover, 2002).
