Description: Maximum likelihood estimation for the semi-parametric joint modeling of competing risks and (multivariate) longitudinal data applying customized linear scan algorithms, proposed by Li and colleagues (2022). The time-to-event data is modelled using a (cause-specific) Cox proportional hazards regression model with time-fixed covariates. The longitudinal outcome is modelled using a linear mixed effects model. The association is captured by shared random effects. The model is estimated using an Expectation Maximization algorithm.
