In gestate: Generalised Survival Trial Assessment Tool Environment

Summarise analyses of simulations of time-to-event data using arbitrary event, censoring and recruitment distributions.

Description

Function for summarising the analyses of simulated time-to-event trial data produced by analyse_sim().
Automatically reads in format from analyse_sim(); no other input format is supported.
It automatically detects types of analysis performed and provides relevant summaries (log-rank, Cox, RMST, landmark).

Usage

summarise_analysis(analysed_results, alpha1 = 0.025)

Arguments

analysed_results	Output file from analyse_sim(). Only analyse_sim() output is supported.
alpha1	1-sided alpha to be used for analysis. Default=0.025.
