2.6 Data Simulation for the PWCH-PH Model
Following Psioda et al. (2018), we describe the steps for simulating the observed data for the PWCHPH model. We simulate the complete data for subject i through the following procedure:
The above procedure yields a hypothetical complete dataset corresponding to a scenario where all subjects are followed until the event is observed or they drop out. One constructs the observed dataset from the complete dataset as follows:
