ABSTRACT

FIGURE 6.1: Default diagnostic plots for the joint model tted to the AIDS dataset.

Some basic residuals diagnostic plots are directly available by calling the plot() method for jointModel objects; for our tted joint model these are illustrated in Figure 6.1, and include the plots of the subject-specic residuals versus the corresponding tted values, the Q-Q plot of the subject-specic residuals, and the marginal survival and cumulative risk functions for the event process.
