twoarmglmmean.dr: Doubly robust estimators of the coefficients in the contrast regression as well as their covariance matrix

Description

Solving the estimating equation bar S_n (delta) = 0

Usage

twoarmglmmean.dr(y, x.cate, trt, ps, f1.predictor, f0.predictor)

Value

coef: Doubly robust estimators of the regression coefficients delta_0; vector of size p + 1 (intercept included) vcov: Variance-covariance matrix of the estimated coefficient delta_0; matrix of size p + 1 by p + 1

Arguments

y

Observed outcome; vector of size n

x.cate

Matrix of p.cate baseline covariates; dimension n by p.cate

trt

Treatment received; vector of size n units with treatment coded as 0/1

ps

Estimated propensity scores for all observations; vector of size n

f1.predictor

Initial predictions of the outcome (expected number of relapses for one unit of exposure time) conditioned on the covariates x for treatment group trt = 1; mu_1(x), step 1 in the two regression; vector of size n

f0.predictor

Initial predictions of the outcome (expected number of relapses for one unit of exposure time) conditioned on the covariates x for treatment group trt = 0; mu_0(x), step 1 in the two regression; vector of size n
