Approaches of Frailty estimation: coxme vs coxph(...frailty(id, dist='gauss'))
...coxph(...frailty(id, dist='gamma')) estimates by means of the penalized likelihood approach (Hougaard, 2000). Same for coxph(...frailty(id, dist='gauss'))? How these are related with nltm(...model="GFT") in nltm package done in the approach of Non-linear transformation (Tsodikov, 2003)? Also, is the 3 stage approach (Hougaard, 2000, pp.267) implimented anywhere in R? Finally, Is there a R version of the Frailty.stable (A set of Splus function to estimate parameters of a positive stable frailty model) by Wassell et al (1999)? Thanks for your valuable time. Thanks in ad...
