fixef.coxme: Extraction functions for Coxme

Description

Extract the fixed effects, randome effects, variance of the fixed effects, or variance of the random effects from a coxme model.

Arguments

object

an object inheriting from class coxme representing the result of a mixed effects Cox model.

x

an object inheriting from class coxme representing the result of a mixed effects Cox model.

...

some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method.

Value

• the fixed effects are a vector and the variance of the fixed effects is a matrix. The random effects will be a list with one element for each random effects terms, as will be their variance.
