Dear All, The "coxph" function in the "survival" package allows multiple frailty terms.
Um, no, it doesn't.
In all the examples I saw, however, the frailty terms are nested. What will happen if I have non-nested (that is, cross-classified) frailties in the model?
This wouldn't work even if it did allow multiple frailty terms. You may want the coxme() function in the "kinship" package. -thomas
