Create model formulas

Description

Create model formulas

Usage

create_model_formulas(
  targets = outcomes,
  primary_covariate = primary,
  other_covariates = covariates,
  random_effects = "id_surgeon",
  interaction_term = NULL,
  mgcv = FALSE
)

Arguments

targets	character vector of target variable names
primary_covariate	character string of the key predictor variable
other_covariates	character vector of other predictors
random_effects	names of the random effect variables. Default is id_surgeon.
interaction_term	a character vector
mgcv	logical. Convert random effects specification to mgcv style? Default is false.

Value

a list of model formulas

Examples

create_model_formulas(
targets = c("severe_complication", "death_30d"),
primary_covariate = 's(surgeon_years_experience, k = 5)',
other_covariates = model_covariates,
random_effects = c(
  'procedure, surgeon_years_experience',
  'id_surgeon',
  'id_hospital',
  'cpt_cd'),
mgcv = F) # a glmm model for lme4
