Keep only persons in clinical equipoise

Source: R/PsFunctions.R

Use the preference score to trim subjects that are not in clinical equipoise

trimByPsToEquipoise(population, bounds = c(0.3, 0.7))

Arguments

population

A data frame with at least the three columns described below.

bounds

The upper and lower bound on the preference score for keeping persons.

Value

Returns a tibble with the same three columns as the input.

Details

The data frame should have the following three columns:

  • rowId (numeric): A unique identifier for each row (e.g. the person ID).

  • treatment (integer): Column indicating whether the person is in the target (1) or comparator (0) group.

  • propensityScore (numeric): Propensity score.

Examples

rowId <- 1:2000
treatment <- rep(0:1, each = 1000)
propensityScore <- c(runif(1000, min = 0, max = 1), runif(1000, min = 0, max = 1))
data <- data.frame(rowId = rowId, treatment = treatment, propensityScore = propensityScore)
result <- trimByPsToEquipoise(data)
#> Population size after trimming is 833
