calculate.var.np: calculates closed form variance estimate for R

In laylaparast/Rsurrogate: Robust Estimation of the Proportion of Treatment Effect Explained by Surrogate Marker Information

calculates closed form variance estimate for R

Description

calculates closed form variance estimate for R; used in R function that corrects for measurement error

Usage

calculate.var.np(s1, s0, y1, y0, extrapolate = TRUE)

Arguments

sone	numeric vector or matrix; surrogate marker for treated observations, assumed to be continuous. If there are multiple surrogates then this should be a matrix with n_1 (number of treated observations) rows and n.s (number of surrogate markers) columns.
szero	numeric vector; surrogate marker for control observations, assumed to be continuous.If there are multiple surrogates then this should be a matrix with n_0 (number of control observations) rows and n.s (number of surrogate markers) columns.
yone	numeric vector; primary outcome for treated observations, assumed to be continuous.
yzero	numeric vector; primary outcome for control observations, assumed to be continuous.
extrapolate	TRUE or FALSE; indicates whether the user wants to use extrapolation.

Value

total	matrix needed for variance calculation
psionly	matrix needed for variance calculation
