Description Usage Arguments Examples

View source: R/EValue.R

Description

Returns a data frame containing point estimates, the lower confidence limit, and the upper confidence limit on the risk ratio scale (through an approximate conversion if needed when outcome is common ) as well as E-values for the point estimate and the confidence interval limit closer to the null.

Usage

1
evalues.HR(est, lo = NA, hi = NA, rare = NA, true = 1, ...)

Arguments

est

The point estimate

lo

The lower limit of the confidence interval

hi

The upper limit of the confidence interval

rare

1 if outcome is rare (<15 percent at end of follow-up); 0 if outcome is not rare (>15 percent at end of follow-up)

true

The true HR to which to shift the observed point estimate. Typically set to 1 to consider a null true effect.
