The splinesurv Package
FUNCTION
The splinesurv package contains utilities for nonparametric Bayesian analysis of clustered survival data using B-splines.
The baseline hazard function and frailty density are modeled using penalized B-splines, and estimated by MCMC. The method is very flexible, with options including adaptive knot selection by reversible-jump Monte-Carlo, and the inclusion of a parametrically specified component for either curve.
