Fits semiparametric regression models for irregularly observed physical activity data

Description

Fits semiparametric regression models for irregularly observed physical activity data under conditional independent censoring

Usage

aeefit(formula, data, weight, se, control=list(), boot)

Arguments

`formula`	A formula object as returned by aee.
`data`	A data frame which includes individuals' ID, observation times, and minutes of physical activity since the last observation time.
`weight`	A vector of sampling weights, for each individual.By default, no sampling weights are applied.
`se`	The method of estimating standard errors can be chosen by the argument se. Two options are available: i) the sandwhich estimation (se = 'Sandwich'), or ii) the bootstrap procedure (se = 'Bootstrap').
`control`	A list of control parameters. See 'Details'.
`boot`	The number of resamples generated for the bootstrap procedure.

Details

The control argument is a list athat can supply any of the following components:

betaInit: Initial value for covariate coefficient, default is 0.
interval: Initial search interval for solving beta. Default is (-5,5).
maxIter: Maximum iterations allowed. Default is 150.
absTol: Absolute tolerance. Default is 1e-6.
relTol: Relative tolerance. Default is 1e-6.
a: A tune parameter. Default is .1. In case of gamma fraility, "a" corresponds to the value of both shape and rate parameters.

Examples

## Not run: 
data(NHANES)
# Example of analyzing NHANES data 
# Example 1: Not adjusted for sampling weights
nhanesToFit <- NHANES[ which(NHANES$mvpaMinutes!=0), ]
formula <- aee(ID, Day, mvpaMinutes) ~ Age+raceBi+VO2max+Gender
fitted1 <- aeefit(formula=formula, data=nhanesToFit) 
summary(fitted1)
