FreqSurv_HReg {SemiCompRisks}

The function to fit parametric Weibull models for the frequentist analysis of univariate survival data.

Description

Independent univariate right-censored survival data can be analyzed using hierarchical models.

Usage

FreqSurv_HReg(Formula, data, na.action = "na.fail", subset=NULL)

Arguments

Formula

a Formula object, with the outcome on the left of a \sim, and covariates on the right. It is of the form, time to event + censoring indicator \sim covariates: i.e., y+\delta ~ x.

data

a data.frame in which to interpret the variables named in Formula.

na.action

how NAs are treated. See model.frame.

subset

a specification of the rows to be used: defaults to all rows. See model.frame.

Details

See BayesSurv_HReg for a detailed description of the models.

Value

FreqSurv_HReg returns an object of class Freq_HReg.
