Generalized estimating equations for the incidence part
Fit the logistic model in the incidence part with the GEE approach
geega(w, Z, gamma, id, corstr)
w: conditional probability of a patient remains uncured at the mth iteration. We use Status as initial value.Z: a matrix of covariates corresponding to the incidence part.gamma: initial beta for the GEE for the latency part. We use 0 as the initial value.id: a vector which identifies the clusters. The length of id should be the same as the number of observations.corstr: a character string specifying the correlation structure. The following are permitted: independence and exchangeable.Useful links
