This R package implements two-stage pseudo maximum likelihood estimation (PMLE) and simultaneous maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for copula-based regression models with semi-competing risks data. The marginal distributions are modeled by semiparametric transformation regression models, and the dependence between the bivariate event times is specified by a parametric copula function with the copula parameter that may depend on some covariates.
PMLE4SCRTo install this R package:
install.packages("PMLE4SCR")library(PMLE4SCR)
data(BMT, package = "SemiCompRisks")
BMT$g <- factor(BMT$g, levels = c(2, 3, 1),
labels = c("AML-low", "AML-high", "ALL"))
# Two-stage PMLE
myfit <- PMLE4SCR(BMT, time = "T2", death = "T1",
status_time = "delta2", status_death = "delta1",
T.fmla = ~ g, D.fmla = ~ g,
copula.family = "Clayton",
copula.control = list(formula = ~ g))
myfit$gamma
myfit$betaT
# Simultaneous MLE
myfit_mle <- MLE4SCR(BMT, time = "T2", death = "T1",
status_time = "delta2", status_death = "delta1",
T.fmla = ~ g, D.fmla = ~ g,
copula.family = "Clayton",
copula.control = list(formula = ~ g))
