LAR_batch: Estimate Lifetime Attributable Risk for several people

Description

LAR_batch is used to estimate lifetime attributable radiation-related cancer risk for data with several people.

Usage

LAR_batch(
  data,
  pid,
  basedata,
  sim = 300,
  seed = 99,
  current = as.numeric(substr(Sys.Date(), 1, 4)),
  ci = 0.9,
  weight = NULL,
  DDREF = TRUE,
  basepy = 1e+05
)

Arguments

data

data frame containing demographic information and exposure information. See 'Details'.

pid

a vector which distinguish each person.

basedata

a list of the data of lifetime table and incidence rate table. The first element is lifetime table and the second is incidence rate table.

sim

number of iteration of simulation.

seed

a random seed number.

current

a current year. default is year of the system time.

confidence level of the confidence interval.

weight

a list containing the value between 0 and 1 which is a weight on ERR model. See 'Details'.

DDREF

logical. Whether to apply the dose and dose-rate effectiveness factor.

basepy

number of base person-years

Value

LAR_batch returns an object of multiple classes "LAR_batch", "LAR". An object of class LAR_batch is a list of LAR class objects which names of elements are ID of each person.
