residuals.emfrail: Residuals for frailty models

Description

Residuals for frailty models

Usage

# S3 method for emfrail
residuals(object, type = "group", ...)

Arguments

object

An emfrail object

type

One of cluster or individual

...

Other arguments

Value

A vector corresponding to the Martingale residuals, either for each cluster or for each individual (row of the data).

Details

For cluster \(i\), individual \(j\) and observation row \(k\), we write the cumulative hazard contribution as $$\Lambda_{ijk} = \exp(\beta^\top \mathbf{x}_{ijk}) \Lambda_{0, ijk}$$ where \(\Lambda_{0, ijk}\) is the baseline cumulative hazard correspinding to the row \((i,j,k)\).

When type == "individual", the returned residuals are equal to \(z_i \Lambda_{ijk}\) where \(z_i\) is the estimated frailty in cluster \(i\). When type == "cluster", the returned residuals are equal to \(\sum_{j,k} \Lambda_{ijk}\),
