In biostatistics and medical research, longitudinal data are often composed of repeated assessments of a variable (e.g., blood pressure or other biomarkers) and dichotomous indicators to mark an event of interest (e.g., recovery from…
In studies of recurrent events, joint modeling approaches are often needed to allow for potential dependent censoring by a terminal event such as death. Joint frailty models for recurrent events and death with an additional dependence…
The R package merlin performs flexible joint modelling of hierarchical multi-outcome data. Increasingly, multiple longitudinal biomarker measurements, possibly censored time-to-event outcomes and baseline characteristics are available.…
Longitudinal and time-to-event data are often analyzed in biomarker research to study the association between the longitudinal biomarker measurements and the event-time outcome, in which the longitudinal information contributes to the…
This paper compares six different parameter estimation methods for shared frailty models via a series of simulation studies. A shared frailty model is a survival model that incorporates a random effect term, where the frailties are common…
In survival analysis, longitudinal information on the health status of a patient can be used to dynamically update the predicted probability that a patient will experience an event of interest. Traditional approaches to dynamic prediction…
In the context of clinical and biomedical studies, joint frailty models have been developed to study the joint temporal evolution of recurrent and terminal events, capturing both the heterogeneous susceptibility to experiencing a new…
This chapter provides an introduction to the analysis of relational event data (i.e., actions, interactions, or other events involving multiple actors that occur over time) within the R/statnet platform. We begin by reviewing the basics of…
Semi-competing risks refer to the setting where primary scientific interest lies in estimation and inference with respect to a non-terminal event, the occurrence of which is subject to a terminal event. In this paper, we present the R…
The R package frailtySurv for simulating and fitting semi-parametric shared frailty models is introduced. Package frailtySurv implements semi-parametric consistent estimators for a variety of frailty distributions, including gamma,…
Two-part joint models for a longitudinal semicontinuous biomarker and a terminal event have been recently introduced based on frequentist estimation. The biomarker distribution is decomposed into a probability of positive value and the…
Collecting multiple longitudinal measurements and time-to-event outcomes is a common practice in clinical and epidemiological studies, often focusing on exploring associations between them. Joint modeling is the standard analytical tool for…
The R package lcmm provides a series of functions to estimate statistical models based on linear mixed model theory. It includes the estimation of mixed models and latent class mixed models for Gaussian longitudinal outcomes (hlme),…
In survival studies it is important to record the values of key longitudinal covariates until the occurrence of event of a subject. For this reason, it is essential to study the association between longitudinal and time-to-event outcomes…
This paper introduces TimeDepFrail, an R package designed to implement time-varying shared frailty models by extending the traditional shared frailty Cox model to allow the frailty term to evolve across time intervals. These models are…
In many biomedical research, recurrent events such as myocardial infraction, stroke, and heart failure often result in a terminal outcome such as death. Understanding the relationship among the multi-type recurrent events and terminal event…
Joint models for longitudinal and time-to-event data constitute an attractive modeling framework that has received a lot of interest in the recent years. This paper presents the capabilities of the R package JMbayes for fitting these models…
The longevity R package provides provide maximum likelihood estimation routine for modelling of survival data that are subject to non-informative censoring and truncation mechanisms. It includes a selection of 12 parametric models of…
Joint models for longitudinal and survival data have gained a lot of attention in recent years, with the development of myriad extensions to the basic model, including those which allow for multivariate longitudinal data, competing risks…
In this paper we propose a novel R package, called rsurv, developed for general survival data simulation purposes. The package is built under a new approach to simulate survival data that depends heavily on the use of dplyr verbs. The…
