remlRateDiff {lrstat}

REML estimates of individual rates with specified rate difference

Description

Obtains the restricted maximum likelihood estimates of individual proportions with specified rate difference.

Usage

remlRateDiff(
  rateDiffH0 = 0,
  t1 = NA_real_,
  y1 = NA_real_,
  t2 = NA_real_,
  y2 = NA_real_
)

Arguments

rateDiffH0

The specified rate difference.

t1

The exposure for the active treatment group.

y1

The number of events for the active treatment group.

t2

The exposure for the control group.

y2

The number of events for the control group.

Value

A vector of the restricted maximum likelihood estimates of the incidence rates for the two treatment groups.
