Description

Nonparametric Methods for Generating High Quality Comparative Effectiveness Evidence.

Implements novel nonparametric approaches to address biases and confounding when comparing treatments or exposures in observational studies of outcomes. While designed and appropriate for use in studies involving medicine and the life sciences, the package can be used in other situations involving outcomes with multiple confounders. The package implements a family of methods for non-parametric bias correction when comparing treatments in observational studies, including survival analysis settings, where competing risks and/or censoring may be present. The approach extends to bias-corrected personalized predictions of treatment outcome differences, and analysis of heterogeneity of treatment effect-sizes across patient subgroups.

LocalControl

Introduction

LocalControl is an R package implementing novel nonparametric approaches to address biases and confounding when comparing treatments or exposures in observational studies of outcomes.

See R help pages for examples on how to run each of the package functions.

Building considerations for CRAN

Given we have a large manual, building a compressed pdf of the vignette may be required to not have the submission rejected. Within RStudio this can be done via:

devtools::build(args = c('--compact-vignettes=both'))
