CoxWorker: Create a worker object for use as a worker with master objects generated by CoxMaster

Description

CoxWorker objects are worker objects at each site of a distributed Cox model computation

Usage

CoxWorker

Arguments

Format

An R6Class generator object

Methods

CoxWorker$new(formula, data, stateful=TRUE)

Create a new CoxWorker instance object using formuala and data. The stateful flag indicates whether the object state is to be saved between iterations

logLik(beta, ...)

Compute the partial log likelihood for the local data for the input parameter vector beta. The return value is a named list with three components: value contains the value of the log likelihood, gradient contains the score vector, and hessian contains the estimated hessian matrix

var(beta, ...)

Compute the variance of the parameter vector beta

kosher()

Check if inputs and state of object are sane. For future use

getP()

Returns the dimension of the parameter vector

getStateful()

Returns TRUE if object is stateful, else FALSE
