BayesPieceHazSelect - Variable Selection in a Hierarchical Bayesian Model for a Hazard
Function
Fits a piecewise exponential hazard to survival data using
a Hierarchical Bayesian model with an Intrinsic Conditional
Autoregressive formulation for the spatial dependency in the
hazard rates for each piece. This function uses Metropolis-
Hastings-Green MCMC to allow the number of split points to vary
and also uses Stochastic Search Variable Selection to determine
what covariates drive the risk of the event. This function
outputs trace plots depicting the number of split points in the
hazard and the number of variables included in the hazard. The
function saves all posterior quantities to the desired path.
