Model builder
Choose the survival model you want. Get the syntax in R and in Stata, what the model assumes, and what to check before you trust the answer.
merlin’s syntax is dense because the framework is broad. This builds the command for you, and tells you what you have just assumed.
Every option offered here was checked against the packages before it was offered. Where a combination is not one merlin supports, the builder says so rather than emitting a command that will not run. It covers single-outcome survival models; joint, multi-state and competing-risks models are specified the same way but are not in this builder yet.

What this model says
Notes on the methods behind this
Occasional notes on the methods behind these tools, new releases of merlin, avalon and pendragon, and courses. Monthly, roughly.
Where to go next
The builder gives you a command. These say what it means and whether it is the right one: the glossary defines every term it uses, in both languages; the tutorials work several of these models end to end on real data; and the test suite sets out what each family has been checked against.
