coxlps.object {blapsr}R Documentation

Object from a Cox proportional hazards fit with Laplace-P-splines.

Description

An object returned by the coxlps function consists in a list with various components related to the fit of a Cox model using the Laplace-P-spline methodology.

Value

A coxlps object has the following elements:

formula

The formula of the Cox model.

K

Number of B-spline basis functions used for the fit.

penalty.order

Chosen penalty order.

latfield.dim

The dimension of the latent field. This is equal to the sum of the number of B-spline coefficients and the number of regression parameters related to the covariates.

n

Sample size.

num.events

The number of events that occurred.

event.times

The standardized event times, i.e. if t denotes the original time scale, then event.times = t / sd(t), where sd is the standard deviation.

tup

The upper bound of the follow-up, i.e. max(event.times).

sd.time

The standard deviation of the event times in original scale.

event.indicators

The event indicators.

regcoeff

Posterior estimates of the regression coefficients. coef gives the point estimate, sd.post gives the posterior standard deviation, z is the Wald test statistic, lower .95 and upper .95 the posterior approximate 95% quantile-based credible interval.

penalty.vector

The selected grid of penalty values.

vmap

The maximum a posteriori of the (log) penalty parameter.

spline.estim

The estimated B-spline coefficients.

edf

Estimated effective degrees of freedom for each latent field variable.

ED

The effective model dimension.

Covthetamix

The posterior covariance matrix of the B-spline coefficients.

X

The matrix of covariate values.

loglik

The log-likelihood evaluated at the posterior latent field estimate.

p

Number of parametric coefficients in the model.

AIC.p

The AIC computed with the formula -2*loglik+2*p, where p is the number of parametric coefficients.

AIC.ED

The AIC computed with the formula -2*loglik+2*ED, where ED is the effective model dimension.

BIC.p

The BIC computed with the formula -2*loglik+p*log(ne), where p is the number of parametric coefficients and ne the number of events.

BIC.ED

The BIC computed with the formula -2*loglik+ED*log(ne), where ED is the effective model dimension and ne the number of events.
