Simulated dataset. Baseline data of 386 HIV positive individuals, including time of first active tuberculosis, time of death, individual end time. Time varying CD4 measurements of these patients are included in dataset timedat.
Usage
data(basdat)
Arguments
Details
These simulated data are used together with data in timedat in a detailed causal modelling example using inverse probability weighting (IPW). See ipwtm for the example. Data were simulated using the algorithm described in Van der Wal e.a. (2009).
