Create a CohortMethod analysis specification

Usage

createCmAnalysis(
  analysisId = 1,
  description = "",
  getDbCohortMethodDataArgs,
  createStudyPopulationArgs,
  createPsArgs = NULL,
  trimByPsArgs = NULL,
  truncateIptwArgs = NULL,
  matchOnPsArgs = NULL,
  stratifyByPsArgs = NULL,
  computeSharedCovariateBalanceArgs = NULL,
  computeCovariateBalanceArgs = NULL,
  fitOutcomeModelArgs = NULL
)

Arguments

analysisId: An integer that will be used later to refer to this specific set of analysis choices.
description: A short description of the analysis.
getDbCohortMethodDataArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the getDbCohortMethodData() function.
createStudyPopulationArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the createStudyPopulation() function.
createPsArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the createPs() function.
trimByPsArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the trimByPs() function.
truncateIptwArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the truncateIptw() function.
matchOnPsArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the matchOnPs() function.
stratifyByPsArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the stratifyByPs() function.
computeSharedCovariateBalanceArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the computeCovariateBalance() function per target-comparator-analysis.
computeCovariateBalanceArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the computeCovariateBalance() function per target-comparator-outcome-analysis.
fitOutcomeModelArgs: An object representing the arguments to be used when calling the fitOutcomeModel() function.

Value

An object of type CmAnalysis, to be used with the runCmAnalyses function.

Details

Create a set of analysis choices, to be used with the runCmAnalyses() function.

Providing a NULL value for any of the argument applies the corresponding step will not be executed. For example, if createPsArgs = NULL, no propensity scores will be computed.
