Hi!
I want to estimate a shared gamma frailty model with left truncated data. I use
a parametric baseline hazard so that I can use
simple ML estimation. As I have a big data set it is ok to assume piecewise
constant baseline hazards.
As my data are left truncated I have modified the definition of the risk set.
Do I also have to modifiy the frailty distribution if I have left truncated
data? And if I have to, how? And if I have to, are time-varying covariates
modeled with the method of episode splitting a problem?
Thank you for any comments,
Stefan.
