R Implementation of a General Semi-parametric Shared Frailty Model

by John V. Monaco [Vinnie Monaco] for R Project for Statistical Computing

Convenient and reliable means of survival analysis is critical to practitioners. Some tools exist for estimating the parameters of a shared frailty model, but they are currently incomplete and lagging behind the state-of-the-art. This work proposes an R package based on established modern research in estimating the parameters of a shared frailty model.
