outcome_surv_exponential: Exponential survival distribution

In psborrow2: Bayesian Dynamic Borrowing Analysis and Simulation

Exponential survival distribution

Description

Exponential survival distribution

Usage

outcome_surv_exponential(time_var, cens_var, baseline_prior, weight_var = "")

Arguments

time_var	character. Name of time variable column in model matrix
cens_var	character. Name of the censorship variable flag in model matrix
baseline_prior	Prior. Object of class Prior specifying prior distribution for the baseline outcome. See Details for more information.
weight_var	character. Optional name of variable in model matrix for weighting the log likelihood.

Details

Baseline Prior

The baseline_prior argument specifies the prior distribution for the baseline log hazard rate. The interpretation of the baseline_prior differs slightly between borrowing methods selected.

• Dynamic borrowing using borrowing_hierarchical_commensurate(): the baseline_prior for Bayesian Dynamic Borrowing refers to the log hazard rate of the external control arm.

• Full borrowing or No borrowing using borrowing_full() or borrowing_none(): the baseline_prior for these borrowing methods refers to the log hazard rate for the internal control arm.

Value

Object of class OutcomeSurvExponential.
