Simulate times to competing events from a mixture multi-state model

Simulate times to competing events from a mixture multi-state model

Usage

simt_flexsurvmix(x, newdata = NULL, n)

Arguments

x

Fitted model object returned from flexsurvmix.

newdata

Data frame or list of covariate values. If omitted for a model with covariates, a default is used, defined by all combinations of factors if the only covariates in the model are factors, or all covariate values of zero if there are any non-factor covariates in the model.

n

Number of simulations

Value

Data frame with n*m rows and a column for each competing event, where m is the number of alternative covariate values, that is the number of rows of newdata. The simulated time represents the time to that event conditionally on that event being the one that occurs. This function doesn't simulate which event occurs.
