extrafrail (version 1.14)

Estimation and Additional Tools for Alternative Shared Frailty Models

Description

Provide estimation and data generation tools for new multivariate frailty models. This version includes the gamma, inverse Gaussian, weighted Lindley, Birnbaum-Saunders, truncated normal, mixture of inverse Gaussian, mixture of Birnbaum-Saunders, generalized exponential and Jorgensen-Seshadri-Whitmore as the distribution for frailty terms. For the basal model, it is considered a parametric approach based on the exponential, Weibull and the piecewise exponential distributions as well as a semiparametric approach. For details, see Gallardo et al. (2024) , Gallardo et al. (2025) , Kiprotich et al. (2025) and Gallardo et al. (2025) .
