convertToTimeVaryingCoefR Documentation

Convert short sparse covariate table to long sparse covariate table for time-varying coefficients.

Description

convertToTimeVaryingCoef convert short sparse covariate table to long sparse covariate table for time-varying coefficients.

Usage

convertToTimeVaryingCoef(shortCov, longOut, timeVaryCoefId)

Arguments

shortCov

A data frame containing the covariate with predefined columns (see below).

longOut

A data frame containing the outcomes with predefined columns (see below), output of splitTime.

timeVaryCoefId

Integer: A numeric identifier of a time-varying coefficient

Details

These columns are expected in the shortCov object:

⁠rowId⁠ (integer) Row ID is used to link multiple covariates (x) to a single outcome (y)
⁠covariateId⁠ (integer) A numeric identifier of a covariate
⁠covariateValue⁠ (real) The value of the specified covariate

These columns are expected in the longOut object:

⁠stratumId⁠ (integer) Stratum ID for time-varying models
⁠subjectId⁠ (integer) Subject ID is used to link multiple covariates (x) at different time intervals to a single subject
⁠rowId⁠ (integer) Row ID is used to link multiple covariates (x) to a single outcome (y)
⁠y⁠ (real) The outcome variable
⁠time⁠ (real) For models that use time (e.g. Poisson or Cox regression) this contains time
(e.g. number of days)

Value

A long sparse covariate table for time-varying coefficients.
