pltgamma

Is the shape parameter for the gamma distribution.


Is the scale parameter for the gamma distribution


 This function allows the user to visualize the shape of the gamma distribution used as a prior on the baseline hazards in the 
functions ending with "_BLH"


Gamma distribution

The package is the R-version of the C-based software \bold{CASPAR} (Kaderali,2006: \url{http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/22/12/1495}). It is meant to help predict survival times in the presence of high-dimensional explanatory covariates. The model is a piecewise baseline hazard Cox regression model with an Lq-norm based prior that selects for the most important regression coefficients, and in turn
the most relevant covariates for survival analysis. It was primarily tried on gene expression and aCGH data, but can be used on any other type of high-dimensional data and in
disciplines other than biology and medicine.
