show() method for Recur class objects
prints in the same order as the internally sorted ID’s.rhoMax to the function
simEvent() for users to specify an upper bound of the rate
function in case the function cannot determine an appropriate upper
bound internally. #7summary() method for Recur()
objects.time_class to
Recur() object.id slot of Recur() object to
unique ID’s.adjustRiskset = FALSE is
specified.first_idx and last_idx in
Recur object.deriv method from splines2
objects for derivatives instead of extraction of attributions.variance = "none" to return sample
MCF estimates without variance estimates.plot() method for mcf
objects for a more minimal output by default.Added function Recur() as a successor or function
Survr() for model formula response.
Added a new package vignette introducing the function
Recur().
Added a new argument adjustRiskset to the method
mcf.formula() for specifying whether to adjust the size of
risk set. The cumulative sample mean function estimates will be computed
by setting adjustRiskset = FALSE.
Added a new option of "CSV" for cumulative sample
variance estimates to the argument variance of the method
mcf.formula.
The function Survr is deprecated since this version
and will be removed in future.
Added implementation of nonparametric MCF estimates in C++ with help of Rcpp and replaced original implementation in R with the new implementation for a better computational performance.
numRisk (the size of risk set) for tied censoring
times in mcf.formula objects returned from method
mcf.formula. Thank William Anderson (wnilesanderson AT
gmail.com) for bug reporting with detailed examples.Added function simEvent and
simEventData for simulating survival, recurrent event, and
multiple event data from stochastic process point of view.
Added function mcfDiff and mcfDiff.test
for comparing two-sample MCFs by difference estimates over time and the
pseudo-score tests.
Added argument origin to function Survr
for modeling processes with different time origins.
Added variance estimates of sample MCF from bootstrap methods.
Updated checking rule of argument event of function
Survr for modeling sample MCF of cost in addition to number
of events.
Updated Lawless and Nadaeu (1995) variance estimates in method
mcf.formula for sample MCF.
Renamed class sampleMcf to mcf.formula,
rateRegMcf to mcf.rateReg,
baseRateReg to baseRate.rateReg,
summaryRateReg to summary.rateReg.
Survr(ID, time, event) ~ 1 for modeling
baseline rate function using gamma frailty model in function
rateReg without specifying any covariate.plot,mcf.formula
(previously plot,sampleMcf) method.baseRate for estimated baseline rate
function instead of the estimated coefficients of spline bases.confint by specifying the correct
standard error column.Added M-spline for modeling baseline rate to function
rateReg.
Added argument check to function
rateReg so that it is possible to skip the data checking
step to slightly speed up the model fitting for cleaned data.
Added option verbose to argument
control of function rateReg to suppress all
possible messages.
Added variance estimates for sample MCF by Poisson process
method, and confidence interval based on the asymptotic normality of MCF
itself (in addition to the logarithm of MCF) to function
mcf,formula-method.
Allowed multiple categorical variables in function
mcf,formula-method for the sample MCF for design with
multiple factors.
Added sample valve-seat dataset from Nelson (1995) for demonstration.
Borrowed the power from R package splines2 for piece-wise constant and splines based baseline rate function, and thus boosted the performance of reda in model fitting.
Updated object class of fitted model,
rateReg.
Replaced generic function plotMcf with methods for
function plot.
Updated data checking procedure for a better performance.
Added variable “gender” in sample simulated dataset,
simuDat for a better demonstration of sample MCF
function.
Renamed all slot named boundaryKnots to
Boundary.knots for consistency with spline
functions.
Updated vignettes for demonstration of new features.
Added sample citation entry for reda.
Implementation of spline baseline rate function.
Added function AIC and BIC.
Renamed main function name from heart to
rateReg and added new argument.
Updated object class of fitted model.
Replaced sample simulated dataset for demonstration.
Updated S4 method plotMcf,sampleMcf: Replaced
show_guide with show.legend in function
geom_text to incorporate updates in package
ggplot2 v1.0.1.
Minor updates that clear checking note from CRAN.
