event2: Identify event2 indicator

In socale/frailtypack: Shared, Joint (Generalized) Frailty Models; Surrogate Endpoints

Description

This is a special function used in the context of multivariate frailty model with two types of recurrent events and a terminal event (e.g., censoring variable related to both recurrent events). It contains the indicator of the recurrent event of type 2, normally 0=no event, 1=event, and is used on the right hand side of a formula of a 'multivPenal' object. Using event2() in a formula implies that a multivariate frailty model for two types of recurrent events and a terminal event is fitted.

Usage

event2(x)

Arguments

x	A numeric variable but should be a boolean which equals 1 if the subject has experienced an event of type 2 and 0 if not.

Value

x	an indicator for an event of type 2
