R6 Class Representing an Time-at-Risk (TAR) definition

Source: R/Classes.R

The TimeAtRisk class, encapsulating the id, startWith, startOffset, endWith and endOffset

Details

This class is used to specify a time-at-risk (TAR) definition. A TAR is defined by choosing the start/end date of a cohort to start with (plus an offset), and a start/end date of the cohort to end with (plus an offset).

Note, when serializing with a library such as jsonlite, first call toList() on the R6 class before calling jsonlite::toJSON().
