#' Compute jackknife pseudo values.
#' 
#' Compute jackknife pseudo values based on marginal Kaplan-Meier estimate of
#' survival, or based on marginal Aalen-Johansen estimate of the absolute risks, i.e., the cumulative
#' incidence function.
#' 
#' @title Compute jackknife pseudo values.
#' @aliases jackknife jackknife.survival jackknife.competing.risks
#' @param object Object of class \code{"prodlim"}.
#' @param times Time points at which to compute pseudo values.
#' @param cause Character (other classes are converted with \code{as.character}).
#' For competing risks the cause of failure.
#' @param keepResponse If \code{TRUE} add the model response,
#' i.e. event time, event status, etc. to the result.
#' @param ... not used
#' @note The R-package pseudo does a similar job, and appears to be a little faster in small samples, but much slower in large samples. See examples.
