plot.Diffepoce

An object from the 'prediction' function, more generaly a <code>predFrailty</code> class object.

Logical value. Determines whether confidence intervals will be plotted. The default is FALSE.

conf.bands

The location of the legend can be specified by setting this argument to a single keyword from the list
                    '"bottomright"', '"bottom"', '"bottomleft"', '"left"', '"topleft"', '"top"', '"topright"', '"right"' and '"center"'. The default is

pos.legend

cex.legend

Plots values of the difference of two Cross-Validated Prognosis Loss (CVPL) computed with two joint frailty models. Confidence intervals are allowed.

Frailtypack fits several classes of frailty models using a penalized likelihood
        estimation on the hazard function but also a parametric estimation.
        1) A shared frailty model (with gamma or log-normal frailty distribution) and Cox
        proportional hazard model. Clustered and recurrent survival times can be studied.
        2) Additive frailty models for proportional hazard models with two correlated
        random effects (intercept random effect with random slope).
        3) Nested frailty models for hierarchically clustered data (with 2 levels of
        clustering) by including two iid gamma random effects.
        4) Joint frailty models in the context of joint modelling for recurrent events
        with terminal event for clustered data or not.
        Prediction values are available. Left-truncated (not for Joint model),
        right-censored data, interval-censored data (only for Cox proportional hazard
        and shared frailty model) and strata are allowed. In each model,
        the random effects have a gamma distribution, but you can switch to a log-normal
        in shared and joint models. Now, you can also consider time-varying covariates
        effects in Cox, shared and joint models. The package includes concordance measures
        for Cox proportional hazards models and for shared frailty models.

plot.Diffepoce: Plot difference of EPOCE estimators between two joint frailty models.
