splinesurv-package: Nonparametric bayesian survival analysis

Description Details Author(s) References

Description

Utilities for nonparametric Bayesian analysis of clustered survival data. The baseline hazard function and frailty density are modeled using penalized B-splines, and may optionally have a parametric component.

Details

The core function is splinesurv, and methods for printing and plotting are provided as well. See the splinesurv documentation for details on model specification and fitting procedure.
