Generalize Average Treatment Effect from Randomized Trial to Population
1 2 3 | generalize(outcome, treatment, trial, selection_covariates, data,
method = "weighting", selection_method = "lr",
is_data_disjoint = TRUE, trim_pop = FALSE, seed)
|
outcome |
variable name denoting outcome |
treatment |
variable name denoting binary treatment assignment (ok if only available in trial, not population) |
trial |
variable name denoting binary trial participation (1 = trial participant, 0 = not trial participant) |
selection_covariates |
vector of covariate names in data set that predict trial participation |
data |
data frame comprised of "stacked" trial and target population data |
method |
method to generalize average treatment effect to the target population. Default is "weighting" (weighting by participation probability). Other methods supported are "BART" (Bayesian Additive Regression Trees - NOT READY YET) and "TMLE" (Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation) |
selection_method |
method to estimate the probability of trial participation. Default is logistic regression ("lr"). Other methods supported are Random Forests ("rf") and Lasso ("lasso") |
is_data_disjoint |
logical. If TRUE, then trial and population data are considered independent. This affects calculation of the weights - see details for more information. |
trim_pop |
logical. If TRUE, then population data are subset to exclude individuals with covariates outside bounds of trial covariates. |
seed |
numeric. By default, the seed is set to 13783, otherwise can be specified (such as for simulation purposes). |
generalize
returns an object of the class "generalize"
