plot.jointPenal {frailtypack}R Documentation

Plot Method for a Joint frailty model.

Description

Plots estimated baseline survival and hazard functions of a joint frailty model (output from an object of class 'frailtyPenal' for joint frailty models ) for each type of event (terminal or recurrent). Confidence bands are allowed.

Usage


## S3 method for class 'jointPenal':
plot(x, event = "both", type.plot = "hazard", conf.bands
                 = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x A joint model, or more generaly an object of class frailyPenal for Joint frailty model (output from calling frailtyPenal function).
event a character string specifying the type of curve. Possible value are "terminal", "recurrent", or "both". The default is "both".
type.plot a character string specifying the type of curve. Possible value are "hazard", or "survival". The default is "hazard". Only the first words are required, e.g "haz", "su"
conf.bands logical value. Determines whether confidence bands will be plotted. The default is to do so.
... Other graphical parameters

Value

Print a plot of the baseline survival or hazard functions for each type of event or both with the confidence bands or not (conf.bands argument)
