Added S3 methods
print.bfi(),coef.bfi(), andvcov.bfi()for objects of class"bfi". -
Improved the handling and presentation of Gaussian residual-variance parameters. Posterior covariance matrices returned by
vcov()are transformed from thelog(sigma2)scale to the originalsigma2scale using the delta method when applicable. -
Improved
summary.bfi()output for center-specific Gaussian residual variances, including delta-method standard deviations and back-transformed credible intervals. -
Corrected the curvature calculation for parametric survival models with exponential, Weibull, Gompertz, and exponentiated-polynomial baseline hazards so that the Gaussian-prior precision matrix is added once to the likelihood curvature.
-
Corrected the weighted curvature calculation for Cox models with an unspecified baseline hazard.
-
Improved parameter alignment in
bfi(). Local parameter vectors, curvature matrices, and corresponding prior precision matrices with the same named parameters may now have different parameter orders across centers; the parameter order of the first center is used as the reference order. -
Extended name-based parameter alignment to exponentiated-polynomial survival models.
-
Corrected handling of scalar
q_lsvalues for exponentiated-polynomial survival models.
