LongDecompHE
Longitudinal Decomposition of Health Expectancy by Age and Cause
Description
Provides tools to decompose differences in cohort health expectancy (HE) by age and cause using longitudinal data. The package implements a novel longitudinal attribution method based on a semiparametric additive hazards model with time-dependent covariates, specifically designed to address interval censoring and semi-competing risks via a copula framework. The resulting age-cause-specific contributions to disability prevalence and death probability can be used to quantify and decompose differences in cohort HE between groups. The package supports stepwise replacement decomposition algorithms and is applicable to cohort-based health disparity research across diverse populations. Related methods include Sun et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221133552>.
