When calling stan_jm we must, at a minimum, specify a formula object for each of the longitudinal and event submodels (through the arguments formulaLong and formulaEvent), the data frames which contain the variables for each of the the longitudinal and event submodels (through the arguments dataLong and dataEvent), and the name of the variable representing time in the longitudinal submodel (through the argument time_var).

If you wish to extract the variances and covariances (instead of the standard deviations and correlations) then you can type the following to return a data frame with all of the relevant information: In the previous example we were fitting a shared parameter joint model which assumed that the log hazard of the event (in this case the log hazard of death) at time t was linearly related to the subject-specific expected value of the longitudinal marker (in this case the expected value of log serum bilirubin) also at time t.
