pammtools: Piece-Wise Exponential Additive Mixed Modeling Tools
Installation

pammtools facilitates the estimation of Piece-wise exponential Additive
Mixed Models (PAMMs) for time-to-event data.
PAMMs can be represeted as generalized additive models and can therefore
be estimated using GAM software (e.g. mgcv), which, compared to other packages for survival analysis, often offers
more flexibility w.r.t. to the specification of covariate effects
(e.g. non-linear, time-varying effects, cumulative effects, etc.).
