In WCE: Weighted Cumulative Exposure Models

Description

Data to illustrate the use of WCE.

Usage

data("drugdata")

Format

A data frame with 77038 observations from 500 individuals. The data frame is formatted in an interval format. Contains 7 variables.

Id

a numeric vector to identify observations that belong to the same individual (Id).

Event

a numeric vector representing the event of interest. Takes the value of 1 in the interval during which the event occurs and is 0 otherwise.
