coxmeFull

This function sets up the default variance family information for a
 mixed effects survival model fit with <code>coxme</code>.

survival

Fit Cox proportional hazards models containing both
fixed and random effects.  The random effects can have a general form, of which
familial interactions (a "kinship" matrix) is a particular special case.
Note that the simplest case of a mixed effects Cox model, i.e. a single random
per-group intercept, is also called a "frailty" model.  The approach is based
on Ripatti and Palmgren, Biometrics 2002.
