tte_source: Create a tte_source Object

Description

The tte_source object is used to define events and possible censorings.

Usage

tte_source(
  dataset_name,
  filter = NULL,
  date,
  censor = 0,
  set_values_to = NULL,
  order = order
)

Value

An object of class tte_source

Arguments

dataset_name

The name of the source dataset

The name refers to the dataset provided by the source_datasets parameter of derive_param_tte().

Default value

none

filter

An unquoted condition for selecting the observations from dataset which are events or possible censoring time points.

Default value

NULL

date

A variable or expression providing the date of the event or censoring. A date, or a datetime can be specified. An unquoted symbol or expression is expected.

Refer to derive_vars_dt() or convert_dtc_to_dt() to impute and derive a date from a date character vector to a date object.

Default value

none

censor

Censoring value

CDISC strongly recommends using 0 for events and positive integers for censoring.

Default value

0

set_values_to

A named list returned by exprs() defining the variables to be set for the event or censoring, e.g. exprs(EVENTDESC = "DEATH", SRCDOM = "ADSL", SRCVAR = "DTHDT"). The values must be a symbol, a character string, a numeric value, an expression, or NA.

Default value

NULL

order

Sort order

An optional named list returned by exprs() defining additional variables that the source dataset is sorted on after date.

Permitted values

list of variables created by exprs() e.g. exprs(ASEQ).

Default value

order
