#' @description
#'
#' This package contains the functions for drawing inference in randomized
#' clinical trials with death and intermittent missingness.
#'
#' @section Notation:
#'
#' Consider a two-arm randomized study. Let \eqn{Y_k} denote outcome measured at
#' time \eqn{t_k} and \eqn{Z} denote a functional endpoint that is a function of
#' \eqn{Y}. Let \eqn{L} denote the survival time. Let \eqn{X} denote the
#' baseline covariates and \eqn{T} denote the treatment assignment.
#'
#' @section Ranking:
#'
#' If two subject were both alive at the end of the study, they are ranked based
#' on functional outcome \eqn{Z}. If at least one subject was dead at the end of
#' the study, they are ranked based on survival time \eqn{L}.
#'
#' Treatment effect, \eqn{\theta} is defined as the probability that the outcome
#' for a random individual randomized to treatment \eqn{T=0} is less than the
#' outcome of a random individual randomized to treatment \eqn{T=1} minus the
#' probability that the outcome for a random individual randomized to treatment
#' \eqn{T=0} is greater than the outcome of a random individual randomized to treatment
#' \eqn{T=1}.
#'
#' @section Missingness:
#'
#' In order to estimate \eqn{\theta} in the presence of missing data, we need to
#' impute \eqn{Z} for subjects alive at the end of the study with \eqn{Y_k} missing
#' for some \eqn{k}.
#'
#' The benchmark assumption we consider for the imputation is the complete case
#' missing value (CCMV) restrictions. We then consider exponential tilting
#' models for introducing sensitivity parameters for evaluating the robustness
#' of the findings with regards to different missing data mechanism assumptions.
#' The models are as follows:
#'
#' \deqn{ f(Y^{(s)}_{mis} | Y^{(s)}_{obs}, Y_0, X, T,S=s) \propto \exp(
#' \beta_T Z) f(Y^{(s)}_{mis} | Y^{(s)}_{obs}, Y_0, X, T,S=1)
#' }
#'
#' where \eqn{S} denotes the missingness patterns, \eqn{S=1} denotes the
#' completers and \eqn{\beta_T} denotes the sensitivity parameter for arm \eqn{T}.
#'
#' @section Graphical user interface (GUI):
#'
#' This package provides a web-based GUI. See \code{\link{imShiny}} for
#' details.

#' Example dataset
#'
#' @description The Awakening and Breathing Controlled (ABC) trial randomized critically ill
#' patients receiving mechanical ventilation 1:1 within each study site to
#' management with a paired sedation plus ventilator weaning protocol involving
#' daily interruption of sedative through spontaneous awakening trials (SATs)
#' and spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) or sedation per usual care
#' (UC) and SBTs.
#'
#' The example dataset is from a single site substudy in ABC. The researchers
#' assessed differences in cognitive, psychological and functional outcomes at 3
#' and 12 months after randomization.
