bcfrailphdv: Bivariate Correlated Frailty Models with Varied Variances
Fit and simulate bivariate correlated frailty models with
proportional hazard structure. Frailty distributions, such as gamma and
lognormal models are supported for semiparametric procedures. Frailty variances of the two subjects
can be varied or equal. Details on the models are available in book of
Wienke (2011,ISBN:978-1-4200-7388-1). Bivariate gamma fit is obtained using the approach given
in Iachine (1995) with modifications. Lognormal fit is based on the approach
by Ripatti and Palmgren (2000) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2000.01016.x>. Frailty distributions,
such as gamma, inverse gaussian and power variance frailty models are supported for parametric approach.
