One Minus Kaplan-Meier

Source: R/one_minus_kaplan_meier.R

This function calculates the one minus Kaplan-Meier estimator of adverse events (while censoring all competing events) observed in [0, tau]. Please also refer to formula (4) in Stegherr et al. (2021) .

Usage

one_minus_kaplan_meier(data, tau)

Arguments

data

(data.frame)
with columns including

  • time_to_event: Time to the first AE, death or soft competing event.

  • type_of_event: 0 for censored, 1 for AE, 2 for death, 3 for soft competing event.

tau

(number)
milestone at which One Minus Kaplan-Meier is computed.

Value

(vector)
with the following entries:

  • ae_prob: Estimated probability of AE.

  • ae_prob_var: Variance of that estimate.
