WA_recurrent: While-Alive estimands for recurrent events

In mets: Analysis of Multivariate Event Times

While-Alive estimands for recurrent events

Description

Considers the ratio of means

E(N(min(D,t)))/E(min(D,t))

and the the mean of the events per time unit

E(N(min(D,t))/min(D,t))

both based on IPCW etimation. RMST estimator equivalent to Kaplan-Meier based estimator.

Usage

WA_recurrent(
  formula,
  data,
  time = NULL,
  cens.code = 0,
  cause = 1,
  death.code = 2,
  trans = NULL,
  cens.formula = NULL,
  augmentR = NULL,
  augmentC = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

formula	Event formula first covariate on rhs must be a factor giving the treatment
data	data frame
time	for estimation
cens.code	of censorings
cause	of events
death.code	of terminal events
trans	possible power for mean of events per time-unit
cens.formula	censoring model, default is to use strata(treatment)
augmentR	covariates for model of mean ratio
augmentC	covariates for censoring augmentation
type	augmentation for call of binreg, when augmentC is given default is "I" and otherwise "II"
...	arguments for binregATE
