marginpred: Standardised predictions (predictive margins) for regression...

In survey: Analysis of Complex Survey Samples

Standardised predictions (predictive margins) for regression models.

Description

Reweights the design (using calibrate) so that the adjustment variables are uncorrelated with the variables in the model, and then performs predictions by calling predict. When the adjustment model is saturated this is equivalent to direct standardization on the adjustment variables.

The svycoxph and svykmlist methods return survival curves.

Usage

marginpred(model, adjustfor, predictat, ...)
## S3 method for class 'svycoxph'
marginpred(model, adjustfor, predictat, se=FALSE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'svykmlist'
marginpred(model, adjustfor, predictat, se=FALSE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'svyglm'
marginpred(model, adjustfor, predictat,  ...)

Arguments

model	A regression model object of a class that has a marginpred method
adjustfor	Model formula specifying adjustment variables, which must be in the design object of the model
predictat	A data frame giving values of the variables in model to predict at
se	Estimate standard errors for the survival curve (uses a lot of memory if the sample size is large)
...	Extra arguments, passed to the predict method for model

Examples

## generate data with apparent group effect from confounding
set.seed(42)
df<-data.frame(x=rnorm(100))
df$time<-rexp(100)*exp(df$x-1)
df$status<-1
df$group<-(df$x+rnorm(100))>0
des<-svydesign(id=~1,data=df)
newdf<-data.frame(group=c(FALSE,TRUE), x=c(0,0))

## Cox model
m0<-svycoxph(Surv(time,status)~group,design=des)
m1<-svycoxph(Surv(time,status)~group+x,design=des)
## conditional predictions, unadjusted and adjusted
cpred0<-predict(m0, type="curve", newdata=newdf, se=TRUE)
cpred1<-predict(m1, type="curve", newdata=newdf, se=TRUE)
## adjusted marginal prediction
mpred<-marginpred(m0, adjustfor=~x, predictat=newdf, se=TRUE)

plot(cpred0)
lines(cpred1[[1]],col="red")
lines(cpred1[[2]],col="red")
lines(mpred[[1]],col="blue")
lines(mpred[[2]],col="blue")

## Kaplan--Meier
s2<-svykm(Surv(time,status>0)~group, design=des)
p2<-marginpred(s2, adjustfor=~x, predictat=newdf,se=TRUE)
plot(s2)
lines(p2[[1]],col="green")
lines(p2[[2]],col="green")

## logistic regression
logisticm <- svyglm(group~time, family=quasibinomial, design=des)
newdf$time<-c(0.1,0.8)
logisticpred <- marginpred(logisticm, adjustfor=~x, predictat=newdf)
