Tuning Parameters

This model has one engine-specific tuning parameter:

• k: Number of knots in the spline. The default is k = 0.

Other details

The main interface for this model uses the formula method since the model specification typically involved the use of [survival::Surv()].

For this engine, stratification cannot be specified via [survival::strata()], please see [flexsurv::flexsurvspline()] for alternative specifications.
