While-Alive estimands for recurrent events

Source: R/WA-estimands.R

Considers the ratio of means $$E(N(min(D,t)))/E(min(D,t))$$ and the the mean of the events per time unit $$E(N(min(D,t))/min(D,t))$$ both based on IPCW etimation. RMST estimator equivalent to Kaplan-Meier based estimator.

Arguments

formula

Event formula first covariate on rhs must be a factor giving the treatment

data

data frame

time

for estimation

cens.code

of censorings

cause

of events

death.code

of terminal events

trans

possible power for mean of events per time-unit

cens.formula

censoring model, default is to use strata(treatment)

augmentR

covariates for model of mean ratio
