Abstract
The joineR package implements methods for analysing data from longitudinal studies in which the response
from each subject consists of a time-sequence of repeated measurements and a possibly censored time-toevent
outcome. The modelling framework for the repeated measurements is the linear model with random
effects and/or correlated error structure. The model for the time-to-event outcome is a Cox proportional
hazards model with log-Gaussian frailty. Stochastic dependence is captured by allowing the Gaussian
random effects of the linear model to be correlated with the frailty term of the Cox proportional hazards
model.
