Evaluates piece constant covariates at min(D,t) where D is a terminal event

returns X(min(D,t)) and min(D,t) and their ratio. for censored observation 0. to use with the IPCW models implemented.

Usage

evalTerminal(
  formula,
  data = data,
  death.code = 2,
  time = NULL,
  marks = NULL,
  mark.codes = NULL
)

Arguments

formula

formula with 'Event' outcome and X to evaluate at min(D,t)

data

data frame

death.code

codes for death (terminating event, 2 default)

time

for evaluation

marks

for terminal events to add marks*I(D <=t ,epsilon "in" mark.codes) to X(min(D,t))

mark.codes

gives death codes for which to add mark value
