Landmark Prediction of a Survival Outcome

Description

This package includes functions for landmark prediction of a survival outcome incorporating covariate and short-term event information. For more information about landmark prediction please see: Parast, Layla, Su-Chun Cheng, and Tianxi Cai. Incorporating short-term outcome information to predict long-term survival with discrete markers. Biometrical Journal 53.2 (2011): 294-307.
