pllik_pwexp: Profile log likelihood for piecewise exponential regression

Description

Obtains the profile log likelihood value for piecewise exponential regression.

Usage

pllik_pwexp(beta, time, event, J, tcut, x)

Value

The profile log likelihood value for piecewise exponential regression.

Arguments

beta

The regression coefficients with respect to the covariates.

time

The survival time.

event

The event indicator.

J

The number of time intervals.

tcut

A vector that specifies the endpoints of time intervals for the baseline piecewise exponential survival distribution. Must start with 0, e.g., c(0, 60) breaks the time axis into 2 event intervals: [0, 60) and [60, Inf). By default, it is set to 0.

x

The covariates matrix (including the intercept).
