ivadj | R Documentation |
For a given number of patient clusters in baseline X-covariate space and a specified Y-outcome variable, smooth the distribution of Local Average Outcomes (LAOs) plotted versus Within-Cluster Propensity-like Scores: the Treatment Selection Fraction or the Relative Exposure Level.
ivadj(x)
x |
An output object from ltdagg() or lrcagg() using K Clusters in X-covariate space. |
Multiple invocations of ivadj(ltdagg()) or ivadj(lrgagg()) using varying numbers of clusters, K, can be made. Each invocation of ivadj() displays a linear lm() fit and a smooth.spline() fit to the scatter of LAO estimates plotted versus their within-cluster propensity-like score estimates.
An output list object of class ivadj:
hclobj |
Name of clustering object output by LCcluster(). |
dframe |
Name of data.frame containing X, trtm & Y variables. |
trtm |
Name of the numeric treatment variable. |
yvar |
Name of the numeric outcome Y variable. |
K |
Number of Clusters Requested. |
actclust |
Number of Clusters actually produced. |
