DR.comparisons {MBNMAdose}

Adds placebo comparisons for dose-response relationship

Description

Function adds additional rows to a data.frame of comparisons in a network that account for the relationship between placebo and other agents via the dose-response relationship.

Usage

DR.comparisons(data.ab, level = "treatment", doselink = NULL)

Arguments

data.ab

A data frame stored in an mbnma.network object (mbnma.network$data.ab)

level

A character that can take either "treatment" or "agent" to indicate the level of the network for which to identify dose-response

doselink

If given an integer value it indicates that connections via the dose-response relationship with placebo should be plotted. The integer represents the minimum number of doses from which a dose-response function could be estimated and is equivalent to the number of parameters in the desired dose-response function plus one. If left as NULL (the default), connections to placebo via dose-response relationships will not be included.
