Flexible parametric survival analysis with frailty, take two
Hi everyone, Today we are going to continue learning about flexible parametric survival models with random effects, as a follow-up to a previous post on our blog. Specifically, we are going to replicate the analysis from that post, but with a twist: today, we are going to use the {merlin} package in R. {merlin} in R isContinue reading “Flexible parametric survival analysis with frailty, take two”
Biostatistics & Epidemiology Summer School returns!
I’m delighted to say that the Summer School on Modern Methods in Biostatistics and Epidemiology is returning to the picturesque CastelBrando with a huge range of courses in June 2023! Join me in Treviso, Italy, where I will be back teaching our week long (half days) course on Joint modelling of longitudinal and survival data,Continue reading “Biostatistics & Epidemiology Summer School returns!”
stmt: Modelling multiple timescales using flexible parametric survival models in Stata
After many years of working on the stmt package in Stata, our paper Flexible parametric survival analysis with multiple timescales: Estimation and implementation using stmt was recently published in the Stata Journal (1). stmt can be installed by typing in Stata: The aim of this paper was to describe and illustrate how to model multipleContinue reading “stmt: Modelling multiple timescales using flexible parametric survival models in Stata”
Introducing the {msm.stacked} R package
Today we introduce {msm.stacked}, an R package that can be used to simplify the calculation of state transition probabilities over time and the creation of stacked probability plots from multi-state model fits from the {msm} package. Let me show you some examples of the package functionality in practice. We start by building upon the exampleContinue reading “Introducing the {msm.stacked} R package”
