HRbound: Harm Rate Bounds

In mlqmlq/HRSurrogate: Computing Bounds for Harm Rate

Description

Calculate the bounds of harm rate from the treatment to the outcome.

Usage

HRbound(Tr, S, Y, c1 = 0, c3 = 1)

Arguments

Tr	Treatment variable, a vector taking value 1 or 0.
S	Surrogate variable, a vector taking value 1 or 0.
Y	Outcome variable, a vector taking value 1 or 0.
c1	0<=c1<=1, representing the harm rate from the treatment to the surrogate.
c3	0<=c3<=1, representing the upper bound for the propotion of the individuals that do not conform to causal necessity.

Details

This function calculates the lower and upper sharp bounds of harm rate from the treatment to the surrogate, using the method proposed in Ma et al.

Value

Lower and upper bound of the harm rate from the treatment to the outcome.
