pred_fun_D function

Fit Competing Event Model

This internal function fits a generalized linear model (GLM) for the competing event variable using the observed data.

pred_fun_D(model, compevent_restrictions, obs_data, model_fits)

Arguments

• model: Model statement for competing event variable.
• compevent_restrictions: List of vectors. Each vector containins as its first entry a condition and its second entry an integer. When the condition is TRUE, the competing event variable is simulated according to the fitted model; when the condition is FALSE, the competing event variable takes on the value in the second entry.
• obs_data: Data on which the model is fit.
• model_fits: Logical scalar indicating whether to return the fitted models. The default is FALSE.

Returns

Fitted model for the competing event variable.
