incubate - Parametric Time-to-Event Analysis with Variable Incubation
Phases
Fit parametric models for time-to-event data that show an
initial 'incubation period', i.e., a variable delay phase where
the hazard is zero. The delayed Weibull distribution serves as
foundational data model. The specific method of 'MPSE' (maximum
product of spacings estimation) and MLE-based methods are used
for parameter estimation. Bootstrap confidence intervals for
parameters and significance tests in a two group setting are
provided.
