MIICD (version 1.0)

get.est.FG: Compute estimates.

Description

This function uses the formula interface for Fine-Gray regression competing risk (FGR from the riskRegression library) models to compute coeficients and variance estimates. It uses also the cuminc function from the cmprsk library to estimate the baseline cause specific hazard.

For internal use.

Usage

get.est.FG( x , data , t1 , status , trans , cens , keep , formula )

Arguments

x

time to events.

data

original dataset.

t1

unique single times at which the survival is to be estimatied.

status

columns indicating the status of observations

trans

transission of interest

cens

censure code

keep

covariate to keep (see crprep for details). Optional here.

formula

an object of class "formula" (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the model to be fitted.

Value

• surv
  An estimate of the survival function
• sigma
  An estimate of the variance covariance matrix
• beta
  An estimate of the coeficients
