Estimate baseline parameters in the Gumbel–Hougaard model for sample size calculation using pilot data

Description

Estimate baseline parameters in the Gumbel–Hougaard model described in base for sample size calculation using pilot study data.

id

A vector of unique patient identifiers.

time

A numeric vector of event times.

status
