Description

Generate survival estimates with a piecewise exponential Cox model (using INLA)

Usage

  data,
  cutpoints,
  nsim = 100,
  ...
)

Value

INLA object

Arguments

inla.formula

The formula for PEM which must be an inla.surv object

data

A dataframe for survival data with time (death_t) and event (death)

cutpoints

A sequence of cut points for intervals in the baseline hazard

nsim

The number of simulations from posteriors; default 100
