Fitted Object

Description

An object of the class 'CompetingRiskFrailtySurvfit' returned as a list by the 'CompetingRiskFrailtySurvfitCreate' function and representing a fitted competing risks hazard model with frailties and varying coefficients. It has methods for generic functions print and plot.

Value

L number of comepting risks.
M.list a list with elements specifying the number of chosen gamma distributions of frailties for each competing risk.
fixed.coef.optim named vector of estimates of fixed parameters, beta, of the model.
random.coef.optim named vector of estimates of random parameters, u, of the model.
penalty.varying.optim named vector of penalty values for the random parts of the varying coefficients.
penalty.weights.optim optimal value of the penalty parameter of the frailty mixture density.
grid.frame a frame of grid values for plotting of the varying coefficients.
varying.list a frame containing the values of varying coefficients.
deviation.list a list containing the values of deviation for varying coefficients.
frailty.list a list of frailty estimates, each component is a vector according to the competing risk.
mixture.weights a vector of estimated mixture weights for the components of the mixture frailty distribution.
aic.optim an optimal aic value of the model.
df.weights.optim an optimal value of the degrees of freedom for mixture weights.
log.lik.margin.optim an optimal value of the marginal log likelihood of the model.
p number of covariates; for factors including their categories (excluding reference category).
factor.names covariates' names; for factors the names of categories (excluding reference category).
risk.names a character vector with the names of competing risks.
