msboot.relsurv: Bootstrap function for upgraded multi-state models using...

In mstate: Data Preparation, Estimation and Prediction in Multi-State Models

Bootstrap function for upgraded multi-state models using relsurv

Description

A helper nonparametric bootstrapping function for variances in extended multi-state models using relative survival. This implementation is written based on function mstate:::msboot.

Usage

msboot.relsurv(
  theta,
  data,
  B = 10,
  id = "id",
  verbose = 0,
  transmat,
  all_times,
  split.transitions,
  rmap,
  time.format,
  boot_orig_msfit,
  ratetable = relsurv::slopop,
  add.times,
  ...
)

Arguments

theta	A function of data and perhaps other arguments, returning the value of the statistic to be bootstrapped
data	An object of class 'msdata', such as output from msprep
B	The number of bootstrap replications; the default is B=10
id	Character string indicating which column identifies the subjects to be resampled
verbose	The level of output; default 0 = no output, 1 = print the replication
transmat	The transition matrix of class transMat
all_times	All times at which the hazards have to be evaluated
split.transitions	An integer vector containing the numbered transitions that should be split. Use same numbering as in the given transition matrix
rmap	An optional list to be used if the variables in the dataset are not organized (and named) in the same way as in the ratetable object
time.format	Define the time format which is used in the dataset Possible options: c('days', 'years', 'months'). Default is 'days'
boot_orig_msfit	Logical, if true, do the bootstrap for the basic msfit model
ratetable	The population mortality table. A table of event rates, organized as a ratetable object, see for example relsurv::slopop. Default is slopop
add.times	Additional times at which hazards should be evaluated
...	Any further arguments to the function theta

Value

A list of size B containing the results for every bootstrap replication.
