drgee: Fit Doubly Robust Weighted Generalized Estimating Equations

Description

Analyzes longitudinal data with doubly robust augmented GEE approach.

Usage

drgee(model,outcomemodel, data, id, family, corstr, scale = NULL, 
       mismodel = NULL, nameTRT, maxit=200, tol=0.001)

Arguments

model

an object of class "formula" (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the model to be fitted.

outcomemodel

an object of class "formula" (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the ouctome model

data

a data frame containing the variables in the model.

id

a vector which identifies the clusters. The length of "id" should be the same as the number of observations. Data are assumed to be sorted so that observations on a cluster are contiguous rows for all entities in the formula.

family

a description of the error distribution and link function to be used in the model. This is a character string naming a family function. The following are permitted: "gaussian", "binomial", "poisson".

corstr

a character string specifies the working correlation structure. The following are permitted: "independence", "exchangeable", "ar1","unstructured".

nameTRT

name of the variable containing information for the treatment

scale

a numeric variable giving the value to which the scale parameter should be fixed; if NA, the scale parameter is not fixed.

mismodel

an object of class "formula" (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the missingness model to be fitted.

maxit

maximum iteration number for Newton-Raphson algorithm.

tol

the tolorance for the Newton-Raphson algorithm to converge.

Value

An object of type 'CRTgeeDR'

Details

Analyzes longitudinal data with doubly robust augmented GEE approach.
