ipcw: Computing the stabilized IPCweights

Description

Computing the stabilized IPCweights

Usage

ipcw(
  data,
  id,
  tstart,
  tstop,
  cens,
  arm,
  bas.cov,
  conf,
  trunc = NULL,
  type = "kaplan-meier"
)

Arguments

data

a dataframe containing the following variables

id

the patient's id

tstart

the date of the beginning of the follow-up (in numeric format, with the first being equal at 0)

tstop

the date of the end of the follow-up (in numeric format)

cens

the indicator of treatment censoring (denoted by 1 at the end of the follow-up)

arm

the randomized treatment (2-levels factor)

bas.cov

a vector the baseline covariates

conf

a vector of time-dependent confounders

trunc

an optional fraction for the weights. For instance, when trunc = 0.01, the left tail is truncated to the 1st percentile and the right tail is truncated to the 99th percentile

type

a character string specifying the type of survival curve. The default is type=`kaplan-meier`

Value

the initial dataframe data with stabilized IPCweights as additional arguments. By default, the un-truncated stabilized weights are given. If the trunc option is not NULL then the truncated stabilized weights are also given.
