pamm: Fit a piece-wise exponential additive model

In pammtools: Piece-Wise Exponential Additive Mixed Modeling Tools for Survival Analysis

Fit a piece-wise exponential additive model

Description

A thin wrapper around gam, however, some arguments are prespecified: family=poisson() and offset=data$offset. These two can not be overwritten. In many cases it will also be advisable to set method="REML".

Usage

pamm(formula, data = list(), ..., trafo_args = NULL, engine = "gam")

is.pamm(x)

## S3 method for class 'pamm'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'pamm'
summary(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'pamm'
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

formula	A GAM formula, or a list of formulae (see formula.gam and also gam.models). These are exactly like the formula for a GLM except that smooth terms, s, te, ti and t2, can be added to the right hand side to specify that the linear predictor depends on smooth functions of predictors (or linear functionals of these).
data	A data frame or list containing the model response variable and covariates required by the formula. By default the variables are taken from environment(formula): typically the environment from which gam is called.
...	Further arguments passed to engine.
trafo_args	A named list. If data is not in PED format, as_ped will be called internally with arguments provided in trafo_args.
engine	Character name of the function that will be called to fit the model. The intended entries are either "gam" or "bam" (both from package mgcv).
x	Any R object.
object	An object of class pamm as returned by pamm.

Examples

ped <- tumor[1:100, ] %>%
 as_ped(Surv(days, status) ~ complications, cut = seq(0, 3000, by = 50))
pam <- pamm(ped_status ~ s(tend) + complications, data = ped)
summary(pam)
## Alternatively
pamm(
 ped_status ~ s(tend) + complications,
 data = tumor[1:100, ],
trafo_args = list(formula = Surv(days, status)~complications))
