Marginal Hazard Ratio Estimation in Clustered Failure Time Data
Description
Estimation of marginal hazard ratios in clustered failure time data. It implements the weighted generalized estimating equation approach based on a semiparametric marginal proportional hazards model (See Niu, Y. Peng, Y.(2015). "A new estimating equation approach for marginal hazard ratio estimation"), accounting for within-cluster correlations. 5 different correlation structures are supported. The package is designed for researchers in biostatistics and epidemiology who require accurate and efficient estimation methods for survival analysis in clustered data settings.
