Overview

About

Maintained by Robin DenzCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Estimate and plot confounder-adjusted survival curves using either 'Direct Adjustment', 'Direct Adjustment with Pseudo-Values', various forms of 'Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting', two forms of 'Augmented Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting', 'Empirical Likelihood Estimation' or 'Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation'. Also includes a significance test for the difference between two adjusted survival curves and the calculation of adjusted restricted mean survival times. Additionally enables the user to estimate and plot cause-specific confounder-adjusted cumulative incidence functions in the competing risks setting using the same methods (with some exceptions). For details, see Denz et. al (2023) doi:10.1002/sim.9681.

Changes in 0.12.0

New features

Added the "iptw_cens" method to the adjustedsurv() function, which is a weighting based method that simultaneously allows adjustment for confounding via IPTW and adjustment for dependent censoring via IPCW.

Enhancements

Added the parallel_backend argument to adjustedsurv() and adjustedcif() to allow usage of FORK based parallel backends on Linux and MacOS, as suggested by @HUI950319
adjustedcif() with method="direct" now directly supports Fine & Gray models fit using mets::cifregFG() (or other models fit using mets::cifreg()) in the outcome_model argument. The adjusted CIFs are then estimated using mets::survivalG(), which also provides influence function based standard errors, so that confidence intervals can be obtained without bootstrapping, as suggested by @HUI950319 (#59)

Bug Fixes

Fixed a small bug that occurred in adjustedsurv() with method="iptw_km", when one or more rows of the supplied data contained an event exactly at time 0.
Fixed a small bug where using the times argument in adjustedsurv() sometimes produced errors with method="km" when a value in times was beyond surv = 0 for one or more groups.

Refactored

No longer exports the underlying surv_() and cif_() functions, as they are not meant to be called outside adjustedsurv() or adjustedcif().

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("adjustedCurves", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("RobinDenz1/adjustedCurves")

Development version from RobinDenz1/adjustedCurves. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-adjustedcurves

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-adjustedCurves

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-adjustedCurves

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
