In Cprob: The Conditional Probability Function of a Competing Event

Conditional probability function of a competing event: The Cprob package

The Cprob package permits to estimate the conditional probability function of a competing event, and to fit, using the temporal process regression or the pseudo-value approach, a proportional-odds model to the conditional probability function (or other models by specifying another link function).

You can download the stable version on CRAN

install.packages("Cprob")

Or you can install the development version from github

## if necessary
## install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("aallignol/Cprob")

The conditional probability function can be estimated using the cpf function.

library(Cprob)

mgus$AGE <- ifelse(mgus$age < 64, 0, 1)
CP <- cpf(Hist(time, ev)~AGE, data = mgus)
CP
summary(CP)

A regression model can be fitted either using temporal process regression

fit.cpfpo <- cpfpo(Hist(time, ev)~ age + creat,
                   data = mgus, tis=seq(10, 30, 0.3),
                   w=rep(1,67))

## and plot the odds-ratios
if(require("lattice")) {
xyplot(fit.cpfpo, scales = list(relation = "free"), layout = c(3, 1))
}

or the pseudo-values approach

data(mgus)

cutoffs <- quantile(mgus$time, probs = seq(0, 1, 0.05))[-1]

## with fancy variance estimation
fit1 <- pseudocpf(Hist(time, ev) ~ age + creat, mgus, id = id,
                  timepoints = cutoffs, corstr = "independence",
                  scale.value = TRUE)
summary(fit1)

## with jackknife variance estimation
fit2 <- pseudocpf(Hist(time, ev) ~ age + creat, mgus, id = id,
                  timepoints = cutoffs, corstr = "independence",
                  scale.value = TRUE, jack = TRUE)
summary(fit2)
