## S3 method for class 'jointmeta1'
formula(x, type = c("Longitudinal", "Survival",
  "Rand_ind", "Rand_stud"), ...)

Arguments

x

A jointmeta1 object, the result of applying the jointmeta1 function to joint longitudinal and survival data.

type

A character string indicating what part of the joint model the formula should be returned for. Specifying 'Longitudinal' will result in the function returning the formula for the fixed effect portion of the longitudinal sub-model, 'Survival' will result in the formula for the fixed effect portion of the survival sub-model being returned. To return the formula for the individual level random effect, specify type = 'Rand_ind', or to return the formula for the study level random effects (if included in the joint model), specify type = 'Rand_stud'.

...

additional arguments; currently none are used.

Value

This function returns a formula for the specified portion of the joint model fitted in the supplied jointmeta1 object.
