mreg

R-CMD-check Codecov eudract_pkg

The goal of mreg is to implements the techniques of exact likelihood when the discrete outcome can be missing in a regression model. It is the accompanying software to the paper Bond S, Farewell V, 2006, Exact Likelihood Estimation for a Negative Binomial Regression Model with Missing Outcomes, Biometrics

Installation

You can install the released version of mreg from CRAN with:

install.packages("mreg")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("shug0131/mreg")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(mreg)
 mod1 <- mreg( damaged~offset(log(intervisit.time))+esr.init,
 data=public,patid=ptno,print.level=1, iterlim=1000 )
#> iteration = 0
#> Step:
#> [1] 0 0 0
#> Parameter:
#> [1] 0 0 0
#> Function Value
#> [1] 3902.458
#> Gradient:
#> [1]  3066.5542   690.1451 22153.0783
#> 
#> iteration = 34
#> Parameter:
#> [1] -0.981767860 -6.696169800  0.005720807
#> Function Value
#> [1] 555.7446
#> Gradient:
#> [1] -4.469371e-05 -2.064622e-05 -2.745820e-03
#> 
#> Last global step failed to locate a point lower than x.
#> Either x is an approximate local minimum of the function,
#> the function is too non-linear for this algorithm,
#> or steptol is too large.

#> Call:

#> 
#> Coefficients:
