spef is an R package that consists of a collection of functions for fitting
semiparametric regression models for panel count survival data.
Estimating procedures include: Wang-Yan’s augmented estimating equations (AEE, AEEX),
Huang-Wang-Zhang’s method (HWZ), Zhang’s maximum pseudolikelihood (MPL),
Maximum pseudolikelihood with I-Splines (MPLs), Maximum likelihood with I-Splines (MLs),
Sun-Wei’s method (`EE.SWa`, `EE.SWb`, `EE.SWc`), Hu-Sun-Wei's method (`EE.HSWc`, `EE.HSWm`),
and accelerated mean model (`AMM`).
