Fucntion for estimating initial parameter values
Usage
# S3 method for class 'pscCFM'
initParm(CFM, DC_clean, trt = NULL)
Arguments
- CFM
A counter-factual model
- DC_clean
a cleaned dataset obsect obtained using dataComb.flexsurvreg
- trt
An optional additional vector denoting treatment allocations for multiple treatment comparisons. Defaults to 'NULL'
Value
an 'optim' output giving the parameter values to be supplied as a
starting value for the mcmc routine.
Details
This function takes the liklihood for a 'flexsurvreg' model and uses 'optim'
to fit the likelihood.
