Approaches of Frailty estimation: coxme vs coxph(...frailty(id, dist='gauss'))
Dear List,
In documents (Therneau, 2003 : On mixed-effect cox
models, ...), as far as I came to know, coxme penalize
the partial likelihood (Ripatti, Palmgren, 2000) where
as frailtyPenal (in frailtypack package) uses the
penalized the full likelihood approach (Rondeau et al,
2003).
How, then, coxme and coxph(...frailty(id,
dist='gauss')) differs? Just the coding algorithm, or
in approach too?
coxph(...frailty(id, dist='gamma'...
