UtilityTrial-class: Trial data with utility-weighted beyond-trial extension

In stephematician/trialcostR: Trial Cost-Effectiveness in R

Description

An S4 class of the data from a trial with hazards and utility data supplied for each outcome in the trial

TODO documentation

Usage

UtilityTrial(df, df_mu, df_Ti, df_tj, participant, outcome, hazard, regime,
  state, followup, censor, s, s_max, w, discount)

Arguments

df	a data.frame of the trial data (long format)
df_mu	a data.frame of beyond-trial hazard data
df_Ti	a data.frame of health state regime survival time data
df_tj	a data.frame of health state interval data
participant	a formula describing the variables related to participants
outcome	a formula describing the variables related to outcomes
hazard	a formula describing the variables of the hazard
regime	a formula describing the variables of the health state regime
state	a formula describing the variables of health state intervals
followup	an expression for follow-up in trial data (NSE)
censor	an expression for censoring status in trial data (NSE)
s	an expression for the time variable in the hazard data (NSE)
s_max	expression for extended follow-up time variable in participant data (NSE)
w	expression for the utility variable in the health state data (NSE)
discount	numeric (scalar) value of lifeyear discount rate

Details

Hazard data will be used to extend the life-year measurements beyond the follow-up times of the trial. Utility data will be used to weight the life-years.

Slots

df_Ti

a tbl_df of survival times intervals for health state regimes

df_tj

a tbl_df of health state utilities and associated time interval data

regime

a formula describing the dependency of survival time intervals for each health state regime

state

a formula describing the dependency of time intervals each individual health state

w

a numeric vector for the utility in health state data
