control_list
Description
This list contains a list of parameters specifying the joint frailty model.
Details
ID_name: the variable name indicating the patient ID in both recurrent events data and survival data.
item_name: the variable name indicating the types of recurrent events in the recurrent events data.
time_name: the variable name indicating the occurrence time in the recurrent events data.
fix_cov: a set of variables names indicating the covariates of fixed-effects in the recurrent events submodel. If NULL, not baseline covariates are included.
random_cov: a set of variables names indicating the covariates of random-effects in the recurrent events submodel. If NULL, not baseline covariates are included.
recur_fix_time_fun: a function specifying the time-related basis functions (fixed-effects) in the recurrent events submodel.
recur_ran_time_fun: a function specifying the time-related basis functions (random-effects) in the recurrent events submodel. If this is an intercept only function, then only a random intercept is included (i.e. a joint frailty model).
surv_fix_time_fun: a log-hazard function for the survival submodel.
surv_time_name the variable name for the survival time in the survival data.
surv_status_name the variable name for the censoring indicator in the survival data.
surv_cov a set of variables names specifying the baseline covariates in the survival submodel.
n_points an integer indicating the numebr of nodes being used in the Gaussian quadrature.
