mccount (version 0.1.1)

as.data.frame.mcc: Convert mcc object to data.frame

Description

Extracts the MCC estimates from an mcc object and returns them as a standard data.frame. This is useful for further analysis or when working with packages that expect standard data.frame objects.

Usage

# S3 method for mcc
as.data.frame(x, ...)

Value

A data.frame with MCC estimates

Arguments

x

An mcc object

...

Additional arguments (currently unused)

Examples

# Create sample data
library(dplyr)
df <- data.frame(
  id = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5),
  time = c(8, 1, 5, 2, 6, 7, 8, 3, 3),
  cause = c(0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2)
) |>
  arrange(id, time)

# Calculate MCC
mcc_result <- mcc(df, "id", "time", "cause")

# Convert to data.frame
mcc_df <- as.data.frame(mcc_result)
print(mcc_df)
class(mcc_df)  # "data.frame"

# This is equivalent to extracting mcc_final
identical(mcc_df, as.data.frame(mcc_result$mcc_final))

# Useful for further analysis with base R functions
summary(mcc_df)
plot(mcc_df$time, mcc_df$mcc, type = "s")

# Clean up
rm(df, mcc_result, mcc_df)
