FrailtyCompRisk: Competing Risks Models for Multi-Center Survival Data with
Frailty
Implements methods for analyzing competing risks data in
multi-center survival studies using frailty models. The approach relies on
a mixed proportional hazards model for the sub-distribution, allowing for
cluster-specific random effects. The package provides tools for model
estimation with or without frailty using Maximum Likelihood (ML) and
Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML). It supports flexible modeling of
between-center heterogeneity and is particularly suited for multi-center
clinical trials or registries. Core features include data simulation,
likelihood computation, cluster-dependent censoring options, and testing of
frailty effects. For methodological details, see Katsahian et al. (2006) <doi:10.1002/sim.2684>.
