survBayes.control.gamma.frailty {survBayes}R Documentation

Package options for gamma frailty in survBayes

Description

These function checks and packages the fitting options for the gamma frailty in survBayes. The frailty values are assumed the be gamma distributed with rate and shape mu.cl such that the expected value is one. The prior of tau.cl=log(mu.cl) is assumed to be normal distributed with mean zero and precision prec.tau.cl

Usage

survBayes.control.gamma.frailty(mu.cl = 1, prec.tau.cl = 1e-04)

Arguments

mu.cl initialization of rate and shape of the prior of mu.cl
prec.tau.cl initialization of precision of the prior of prec.tau.cl

Value

A list with the same element as the input
