baseline hazard

Hello Monaco,
Hi, Thanks for all the efforts of putting the package together.
I have been trying to run a simulation using “simfrail” function for a lognormal shared frailty with pareto baseline hazard function and obtaining confidence interval for the coefficients.
But the code is not running. Sometimes hanging for like 2-3days and will not give any result and most time it gives Error message like we have below.

“Error in if (common.len == 1L) unlist(x, recursive = FALSE) else if (common.len > :
argument is of length zero
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In plapply(reps, try.fn, cores) :
parallel not supported on Windows yet...
2: In simfrail(100, genfrail.args = alist(beta = c(log(2), log(3)), :
100 out of 100 repetitions failed to complete”

below is the code

simpareto <- simfrail(100,
genfrail.args = alist(beta = c(2,3), frailty = "gamma",
censor.rate = 0.30, N = 300, K = 2, theta = 2,
covar.distr = "uniform", covar.param = c(0, 1),
lambda_0 = function(t, a = 0.01, c =1 ,d = 4.6) (dca*(dt)^(c-1) * (1 + (dt)^c)^-1),
fitfrail.args = alist(
formula = Surv(time, status) ~ Z1 + Z2 + cluster(family),
frailty = “lognormal"), Lambda.times = 1:120))
summary(simpareto)

Please, can you be of help?

Please, the baseline hazard is Pareto Type IV [dca*(dt)^(c-1) * (1 + (dt)^c)^-1)]
And frailty distribution is lognormal
pls help me
