aVirtualTwins

aVirtualTwins-package

aVirtualTwins is written mainly with reference classes. Briefly, there is three kinds of class :<ul>
<li><code><a rd-options="" href="/link/VT.object?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::VT.object">VT.object</a></code> class to represent RCT dataset used by aVirtualTwins. To format correctly RCT dataset, use <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/formatRCTDataset?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::formatRCTDataset">formatRCTDataset</a></code>.</li>
<li><code><a rd-options="" href="/link/VT.difft?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::VT.difft">VT.difft</a></code> class to compute difference between twins. Family <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/VT.forest?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::VT.forest">VT.forest</a></code> extends it to compute twins by random forest.
 <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/vt.forest?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::vt.forest">vt.forest</a></code> is users function.</li>
<li><code><a rd-options="" href="/link/VT.tree?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::VT.tree">VT.tree</a></code> class to find subgroups from <code>difft</code> by CART trees. <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/VT.tree.class?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::VT.tree.class">VT.tree.class</a></code> and <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/VT.tree.reg?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::VT.tree.reg">VT.tree.reg</a></code> extend it. 
 <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/vt.tree?package=aVirtualTwins&version=1.0.1" data-mini-rdoc="aVirtualTwins::vt.tree">vt.tree</a></code> is users function.</li>
</ul>

Research of subgroups in random clinical trials with binary outcome and two treatments groups. This is an adaptation of the Jared Foster method (<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21815180>).
