outcome_surv_weibull_ph: Weibull survival distribution (proportional hazards formulation)

Description

Weibull survival distribution (proportional hazards formulation)

Usage

outcome_surv_weibull_ph(
  time_var,
  cens_var,
  shape_prior,
  baseline_prior,
  weight_var = ""
)

Value

Object of class OutcomeSurvWeibullPH.

Arguments

time_var

character. Name of time variable column in model matrix

cens_var

character. Name of the censorship variable flag in model matrix

shape_prior

Prior class object for the Weibull shape parameter. Default is prior_exponential(beta = 0.0001).

baseline_prior

Prior. Object of class Prior specifying prior distribution for the baseline outcome. See Details for more information.

weight_var

character. Optional name of variable in model matrix for weighting the log likelihood.

Details

Baseline Prior

The baseline_prior argument specifies the prior distribution for the baseline log hazard rate. The interpretation of the baseline_prior differs slightly between borrowing methods selected.

• Dynamic borrowing using borrowing_hierarchical_commensurate(): the baseline_prior for Bayesian Dynamic Borrowing refers to the log hazard rate of the external control arm.

• Full borrowing or No borrowing using borrowing_full() or borrowing_none(): the baseline_prior for these borrowing methods refers to the log hazard rate for the internal control arm.
