pcd_cmdstan_model: Create a CmdStanModel with primarycensored Stan functions

In primarycensored: Primary Event Censored Distributions

Create a CmdStanModel with primarycensored Stan functions

Description

This function creates a CmdStanModel object using the Stan model and functions from primarycensored and optionally includes additional user-specified Stan files.

Usage

pcd_cmdstan_model(include_paths = primarycensored::pcd_stan_path(), ...)

Arguments

include_paths	Character vector of paths to include for Stan compilation. Defaults to the result of pcd_stan_path().
...	Additional arguments passed to cmdstanr::cmdstan_model().

Details

The underlying Stan model (pcens_model.stan) supports various features:

• Multiple probability distributions for modeling delays

• Primary and secondary censoring

• Truncation

• Optional use of reduce_sum for improved performance (via within chain parallelism).

• Flexible prior specifications

• Optional computation of log-likelihood for model comparison

Value

A CmdStanModel object.
