post1PYO: Get person-years at risk and observed cases after first...

Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s) See Also

View source: R/post1PYO.R

Description

Converts a canc data.frame into a list of objects containing information regarding person years at risk for a second cancer after having a first cancer, and the number observed, in a defined time since exposure interval and after a defined first cancer therapy.

Usage

1
post1PYO(canc, brks=c(0,2,5),binIndx=1,Trt="rad",PYLong=FALSE,yearEnd,firstS,secondS)

Arguments

canc

Input canc data.frame that is already sex, and possibly race, specific, but not cancer specific, as treatment of any first cancer could potentially cause any second cancer.

brks

A vector of break points in years used to form time since diagnosis bins.

binIndx

The index of the interval for which py are to be computed by calling this function.

Trt

The treatment for the first cancers. Note that the second cancer treatment is irrelevant here, so the input canc must not be reduced to only certain treatment types.

PYLong

PYLong of tsd.

yearEnd

This is taken from the seerSet object.

firstS

Vector of first cancers of interest as strings.

secondS

Vector of second cancers of interest as strings.

Value

A list where the first element is a list LPYM with as many PY matrices (PYM) as cancers in canc. The second element is a matrix of cases observed in this interval after this treatment, where row names are first cancers and column names are second cancers. The third element is a trivial scalar, the py-weighted midpoint of the time interval selected.

Note

After the SEER data is installed, see the script mkRRtsx.R in the examples folder.
