The shape of the relative frailty variance induced by discrete random effect distributions in univariate and multivariate survival models

M Bardo, S Unkel - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.04915, 2023 - arxiv.org
In statistical models for the analysis of time-to-event data, individual heterogeneity is usually
accounted for by means of one or more random effects, also known as frailties. In the vast …
