survspatNS function

Description

A function to perform maximun likelihood inference for non-spatial survival data.

Usage

survspatNS(formula, data, dist, control = inference.control())

Arguments

formula

the model formula in a format compatible with the function flexsurvreg from the flexsurv package

data

a SpatialPointsDataFrame object containing the survival data as one of the columns

dist

choice of distribution function for baseline hazard. Current options are: exponentialHaz, weibullHaz, gompertzHaz, makehamHaz, tpowHaz

control

additional control parameters, see ?inference.control

Value

an object inheriting class 'mcmcspatsurv' for which there exist methods for printing, summarising and making inference from.
