A class for defining a time-to-event survival analysis with a piecewise survival distribution. Objects of class OutcomeSurvPEM should not be created directly but by the constructor outcome_surv_pem().

Slots

param_stan_code

character. stan parameter code block containing text to interpolate into stan model. Empty string for OutcomeSurvPEM.

n_param

integer. Number of ancillary parameters for the model to estimate (0).

param_priors

list. Named list of prior distributions on the ancillary parameters in the model. Empty for OutcomeSurvPEM.
