)A two sided formula with a Surv object
on the left-hand-side and covariate specification on the right-hand-side (RHS).
The RHS can be an extended formula, which specifies how TDCs should be transformed
using specials concurrent and cumulative. The left hand-side can
be in start-stop-notation. This, however, is only used to create left-truncated
data and does not support the full functionality.
Either an object inheriting from data frame or in case of time-dependent covariates a list of data frames (of length 2), where the first data frame contains the time-to-event information and static covariates while the second (and potentially further data frames) contain information on time-dependent covariates and the times at which they have been observed.
A character indicating the column in data that indicates the event/episode number for recurrent events.
Split points, used to partition the follow up into intervals. If unspecified, all unique event times will be used.
If cut is unspecified, this will be the last
possible event time. All event times after max_time
will be administratively censored at max_time.
The value that encodes the occurrence of an event in the data set.
Minimum number of events for each event number.
Defines the timescale for the recurrent event data transformation.
Defaults to "gaptime".
