Extract the Coefficients for the 'Adapted Paik et Al.' Model

Extracts the optimal \(\boldsymbol{\beta}\) obtained with the time-dependent frailty model proposed in the 'Adapted Paik et al.' framework.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'AdPaik'
coef(object, ...)

Arguments

object: An S3 object of class AdPaik, returned by the main model function (AdPaikModel). This object contains all the optimal parameter estimates.
...: Additional arguments (ignored).

Value

A named list containing the coefficients.

Details

The coef.AdPaik function extracts the coefficients from the OptimalParameters field in object.

The function validates the structure of object and ensures compatibility with the expected model output. It throws an error if the object is malformed or inconsistent.

Examples

# Example using the 'Academic Dropout' dataset
data(data_dropout)

# Define the formula and time axis for the model
formula <- time_to_event ~ Gender + CFUP + cluster(group)
time_axis <- c(1.0, 1.4, 1.8, 2.3, 3.1, 3.8, 4.3, 5.0, 5.5, 5.8, 6.0)
eps <- 1e-10
categories_range_min <- c(-8, -2, eps, eps, eps)
categories_range_max <- c(-eps, 0, 1 - eps, 1, 10)

# \donttest{
# Run the main model
result <- AdPaikModel(formula, data_dropout, time_axis,
                      categories_range_min, categories_range_max, TRUE)

# Extract the coefficients
coef(result)
#>    GenderMale          CFUP 
#> -6.643748e-07 -1.274687e+00
