This repository contains a real data application of the individual frailty excess hazard models proposed in the paper:
Rubio, F.J., Putter, H. and Belot, A. (2023). Individual frailty excess hazard models in cancer epidemiology. Statistics in Medicine, 42: 1066–1081. https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.9657 . [Preprint]
The models are fitted using the R package IFNS. To install the IFNS R package use:
library(devtools)
install_github("FJRubio67/IFNS")
library(IFNS)
An example of the use of this package using simulated data can be found at:
Simulacrum data - lung cancer: Individual Frailty Model
The data set used in this example is available at LBANS.
