- Description:
The package offers a fitting of smooth varying coefficients in a competing risks modelling of hazards as well as estimating of the frailties (or unobserved heterogenities) for clustered observations. Nonparametric penalized spline (p-spline) fitting of smooth covariates effects is proposed. As a spline basis truncated polynomial functions are chosen. The frailties are also fitted (via the EM-algoritghm) in a flexible way using a penalizied mixture of gamma distributions.
