I'm trying to fit a parametric survival model using the survreg function
with a Weibull distribution.
I'm studying the time to death of individuals from different families
and I would like to fit different shape parameters (ie 1/scale in R) for
each of the families. I looked it up in the help pdf and on the
internet, but I couldn't find anything.
Would it be possible to do such a thing ?
------- end inclusion --
Yes it is possible -- but clearly I need to add one more example to the help
page; use a strata() term.
