Description

An object returned by the joint function, inheriting from class joint and representing a fitted joint model for longitudinal and time-to-event (or competing risks) data.

Usage

Format

An object of class NULL of length 0.

Value

A list with the following components.

coefficients

a list with the estimated coefficients. The components of this list are:

fixed

longitudinal and survival sub-model fixed effects.

random

the BLUPs of the random effects.

latent

the latent association parameter(s) from the time-to-event sub-model.

sigama.z

a numeric double for the residual standard error.

sigma.u

the variance-covariance matrix of the random effects.

hazard

a vector of the (centered) baseline hazards at each unique failure time.

log.lik

the log-likelihood from the joint model fit and sub-model contributions.

numIter

the number of EM algorithm iterations.

convergence

a logical value of whether convergence was achieved or not.

model

see joint for details.

sepassoc

see joint for details.

sepests

see joint for details.

compRisk

a logical value indicating whether competing risks were detected or not.

sep.loglike

the log-likelihood from the joint model fit (with association set to zero) and separately fitted sub-model contributions.

formulae

a list of model formulae. See joint for details.

data

a jointdata object. See joint for details.

call

the model call. Can be used by update.
