pam: pam: Piece-wise exponential Additive Models

In adibender/pam: Functions and Utilities for fitting Piece-wise Exponential (Additive) models

Description

pam provides functions and utilities that facilitate fitting Piece-wise Exponential (Additive) Models (PAMs), including data transformation and other convenience functions for pre- and post-processing as well as plotting.

Details

The best way to get an overview of the functionality provided and how to fit PAMs is to view the vignettes included in this package. A summary of the vignettes content is given below:

• basics: Introduction to PAMs and basic modeling.

• baseline: Shows how to estimate and visualize baseline model (without covariates) and comparison to respective Cox-PH model.

• convenience: Convenience functions for post-processing and plotting PAMs

• data-transformation: Transforming data into a format suitable to fit PAMs

• frailty: Specifying "frailty" terms, i.e., random effects for PAMs

• splines: Specifying spline smooth terms for PAMs

• strata: Specifying stratified models in which each level of a grouping variable has a different baseline hazard

• tdcovar: Dealing with time-dependent covariates

• tveffects: Specifying time-varying effects
