optimlikelihood {depCensoring} | R Documentation |
Fit the dependent censoring models.
Description
Estimates the model parameters by maximizing the log-likelihood.
Usage
optimlikelihood(Y, Delta, Copula, Dist.T, Dist.C, start)
Arguments
Y |
Follow-up time. |
Delta |
Censoring indicator. |
Copula |
The copula family. This argument can take values from |
Dist.T |
The distribution to be used for the survival time T. This argument can take one of the values from |
Dist.C |
The distribution to be used for the censoring time C. This argument can take one of the values from |
start |
Starting values |
Value
A list containing the minimized negative log-likelihood using the independence copula model, the estimated parameter values for the model with the independence copula, the minimized negative log-likelihood using the specified copula model and the estimated parameter values for the model with the specified copula.
