In spef: Semiparametric Estimating Functions

Description

spef is an R package that consists of a collection of functions for fitting semiparametric regression models for panel count survival data. Estimating procedures include: Wang-Yan’s augmented estimating equations (AEE, AEEX), Huang-Wang-Zhang’s method (HWZ), Zhang’s maximum pseudolikelihood (MPL), Maximum pseudolikelihood with I-Splines (MPLs), Maximum likelihood with I-Splines (MLs), Sun-Wei’s method (‘EE.SWa', 'EE.SWb', 'EE.SWc'), Hu-Sun-Wei’s method ('EE.HSWc', 'EE.HSWm'), and accelerated mean model ('AMM').
