rmstaug: Adjusted difference/ratio of restricted mean survival times

Description

Compares restricted mean survival time between two groups, adjusting for imbalance of baseline factors.

Usage

rmstaug(y, delta, x, arm, tau, type="difference", conf.int=0.95)

Arguments

y

The follow-up time.

delta

The censoring indicator, 1=event, and 0=censoring.

x

The covariate matrix. The group indicator, arm (below) should not be included in this matrix.

arm

The group indicator, 1/0.

tau

The value indicates the restricted time point on the follow-up time to calculate the restricted mean survival time.

type

The type of the between-group contrast measure: "difference"(default), "ratio" or "lossratio".

conf.int

The level for computation of the confidence intervals. The default is 0.95.
