Arguments

margbin

Cluster variable

silent

Debug information

weights

Weights for log-likelihood, can be used for each type of outcome in 2x2 tables.

control

Optimization arguments

theta

Starting values for variance components

theta.des

design for dependence parameters, when pairs are given this is could be a (pairs) x (numer of parameters) x (max number random effects) matrix

var.link

Link function for variance

var.par

parametrization

var.func

when alternative parametrizations are used this function can specify how the paramters are related to the \(\lambda_j\)'s.

iid

Calculate i.i.d. decomposition when iid>=1, when iid=2 then avoids adding the uncertainty for marginal paramters for additive gamma model (default).

step

Step size

notaylor

Taylor expansion

model

model

marginal.p

vector of marginal probabilities

beta.iid

iid decomposition of marginal probability estimates for each subject, if based on GLM model this is computed.

Dbeta.iid

derivatives of marginal model wrt marginal parameters, if based on GLM model this is computed.

strata

strata for fitting: considers only pairs where both are from same strata

max.clust

max clusters

se.clusters

clusters for iid decomposition for roubst standard errors

numDeriv

uses Fisher scoring aprox of second derivative if 0, otherwise numerical derivatives

random.design

random effect design for additive gamma model, when pairs are given this is a (pairs) x (2) x (max number random effects) matrix, see pairs.rvs below

pairs

matrix with rows of indeces (two-columns) for the pairs considered in the pairwise composite score, useful for case-control sampling when marginal is known.

pairs.rvs

for additive gamma model and random.design and theta.des are given as arrays, this specifice number of random effects for each pair.

additive.gamma.sum

this is specification of the lamtot in the models via a matrix that is multiplied onto the parameters theta (dimensions=(number random effects x number of theta parameters), when null then sums all parameters. Default is a matrix of 1's

pair.ascertained

if pairs are sampled only when there are events in the pair i.e. Y1+Y2>=1.

case.control

if data is case control data for pair call, and here 2nd column of pairs are probands (cases or controls)

twostage

default twostage=1, to fit MLE use twostage=0

beta

is starting value for beta for MLE version

Details

The reported standard errors are based on a cluster corrected score equations from the pairwise likelihoods assuming that the marginals are known. This gives correct standard errors in the case of the Plackett distribution (OR model for dependence), but incorrect standard errors for the Clayton-Oakes types model. For the additive gamma version of the stanard errors are adjusted for the uncertainty in the marginal models via an iid deomposition using the iid() function of lava. For the clayton oakes model that is not speicifed via the random effects these can be fixed subsequently using the iid influence functions for the marginal model, but typically this does not change much. For the Clayton-Oakes version of the model, given the gamma distributed random effects it is assumed that the probabilities are indpendent, and that the marginal survival functions are on logistic form $$ logit(P(Y=1|X)) = \alpha + x^T \beta $$ therefore conditional on the random effect the probability of the event is $$ logit(P(Y=1|X,Z)) = exp( - Laplace^{-1}(lamtot,lamtot,P(Y=1|x)) ) $$ Can also fit a structured additive gamma random effects model, such the ACE, ADE model for survival data: Now random.design specificies the random effects for each subject within a cluster. This is a matrix of 1's and 0's with dimension n x d. With d random effects. For a cluster with two subjects, we let the random.design rows be \(v_1\) and \(v_2\). Such that the random effects for subject 1 is $$v_1^T (Z_1,...,Z_d)$$, for d random effects. Each random effect has an associated parameter \((\lambda_1,...,\lambda_d)\). By construction subjects 1's random effect are Gamma distributed with mean \(\lambda_j/v_1^T \lambda\) and variance \(\lambda_j/(v_1^T \lambda)^2\). Note that the random effect \(v_1^T (Z_1,...,Z_d)\) has mean 1 and variance \(1/(v_1^T \lambda)\). It is here asssumed that \(lamtot=v_1^T \lambda\) is fixed over all clusters as it would be for the ACE model below. The DEFAULT parametrization uses the variances of the random effecs (var.par=1) $$ \theta_j = \lambda_j/(v_1^T \lambda)^2 $$ For alternative parametrizations (var.par=0) one can specify how the parameters relate to \(\lambda_j\) with the function Based on these parameters the relative contribution (the heritability, h) is equivalent to the expected values of the random effects \(\lambda_j/v_1^T \lambda\) Given the random effects the probabilities are independent and on the form $$ logit(P(Y=1|X)) = exp( - Laplace^{-1}(lamtot,lamtot,P(Y=1|x)) ) $$ with the inverse laplace of the gamma distribution with mean 1 and variance lamtot. The parameters \((\lambda_1,...,\lambda_d)\) are related to the parameters of the model by a regression construction \(pard\) (d x k), that links the \(d\) \(\lambda\) parameters with the (k) underlying \(\theta\) parameters $$ \lambda = theta.des \theta $$ here using theta.des to specify these low-dimension association. Default is a diagonal matrix.
