Et_PP {spatsurv}

Et_PP function

Description

A function to compute an individual's approximate expected survival time using numerical integration. Note this appears to be unstable; the function is based on R's integrate function. Not intended for general use (yet!).

Usage

Et_PP(inputs)

Arguments

inputs

inputs for the function including the model matrix, frailties, fixed effects and the parameters of the baseline hazard derived from this model

Value

the expected survival time for the individual, obtained by numerical integration of the density function.
