In RobinDenz1/adjustedCurves: Confounder-Adjusted Survival Curves and Cumulative Incidence Functions

adjustedCurves 0.9.0

• This is the first release of this package

adjustedCurves 0.9.1

• Include CRAN in installation instructions
• Updated code and tests to run with updated versions of the mice and ggplot2 packages
• Updated documentation of package man page to include features not supported at the moment

adjustedCurves 0.10.0

• Removed support for tmle, ostmle methods
• Changed citation information because manuscript was published
• Changed print method to be equal to summary method
• Fixed issues with unit-tests that require packages under "Suggests" only

adjustedCurves 0.10.1

• Fixed small issues in unit tests caused by changes in the WeightIt package
• Made some small documentation updates

adjustedCurves 0.11.0

Enhancements

• Added arguments iso_reg and force_bounds to adjustedsurv() and adjustedcif() functions to allow applying correction techniques outside plotting as well
• Added better support for multiple imputation when variable, ev_time or event contain missings, includes the new mi_extrapolation argument in adjustedsurv() and adjustedcif()
• Added the ratio argument to adjusted_rmst() and adjusted_rmtl() functions
• Added support for multiple to values in adjusted_rmst() and adjusted_rmtl(), which speeds up plot_rmst_curve() and plot_rmtl_curve() considerably

Bug Fixes

• There was a small bug in internal functions used to calculate integrals, which lead to slightly incorrect results whenever a survival curve reached 0 (or a CIF reached 1) and the "to" value was greater than the last observed time point. This may have impacted standard error estimates in adjusted_rmst(), adjusted_rmtl() and output of adjusted_curve_test() and functions that rely on those functions. This is fixed now, but may lead to slightly different estimates than in previous versions.

New Features

• Added the new methods surv_tmle and cif_tmle, based on the concrete package
• Added new instrumental variable based method surv_iv_2SRIF
• Added new methods surv_prox_iptw, surv_prox_aiptw based on code from Andrew Ying
• Added the adjusted_curve_ratio() function
• Added the plot_curve_ratio() function

Documentation

• Changed examples for the usage of WeightIt as suggested by Noah Greifer
• Added a new vignette with an overview of implemented features of each method
• Small changes to formulations

adjustedCurves 0.11.1

Enhancements

• Re-factored internal code to vastly increase speed of bootstrapping related computations

New features

• Added risk table functionality for plot.adjustedsurv() (all arguments starting with risk_table)
• Allow estimation of difference and ratios in plot_rmst_curve() function
• Allow estimation of difference and ratios in plot_rmtl_curve() function
• Allow estimation of difference and ratios in adjusted_surv_quantile() function

Refactored

• Re-factored examples to only be executed if suggested packages are installed
• Renamed adjsurv and adjcif output objects of adjustedsurv() and adjsutedcif() respectively to adj
• Put functionality of difference and ratio arguments into one contrast argument in adjusted_rmst(), adjusted_rmtl(), adjusted_surv_quantile(), plot_rmst_curve() and plot_rmtl_curve() functions
• Temporarily removed support for tmle in adjustedsurv() and adjustedcif() due to concrete being removed from CRAN

Documentation

• Re-worked introduction vignette
• Added FAQ vignette
• Added Group Comparison vignette
