Create Self-Controlled Risk Interval (SCRI) era data
createScriIntervalData(studyPopulation, sccsData, createScriIntervalDataArgs)An object of type SccsIntervalData.
An object created using the createStudyPopulation() function.
An object of type SccsData as created using the getDbSccsData function.
An object of type CreateScriIntervalDataArgs as created by
the createCreateScriIntervalDataArgs() function.
This function creates interval data according to the elf-Controlled Risk Interval (SCRI) design.
Unlike the generic SCCS design, where all patient time is used to establish a background rate,
in the SCRI design a specific control interval (relative to the exposure) needs to be defined.
The final model will only include time that is either part of the risk interval (defined using
the eraCovariateSettings argument, or the control interval (defined using controlIntervalSettings).
