tsdata_cc {TreatmentSelection}

sample nested case-control data for R package TreatmentSelection

Description

Simulated case-cohort data set consisting of two continuous markers, two discrete markers, treatment, and event status.

Usage

data(tsdata)

Format

A data frame with 468 observations reflecting a 1:1 case control subcohort sample from the tsdata dataset. See ?tsdata for the clinical context these data were simulated under.

trt

a numeric vector distinguishing chemotherapy-treated individuals (trt = 1) vs individuals treated with tamoxifen alone (trt = 0)

event

a numeric vector indicating event status (1 for recurrence or death within 5 years, 0 otherwise)

Y1

a numeric vector of values for marker 1. This marker has relatively weak performance.

Y2

a numeric vector of values for marker 2. This marker has strong performance.

Y1_disc

a discrete version of marker 1, coded 1 if Y1 > mean(Y1) and 0 otherwise.

Y2_disc

a discrete version of marker 2, coded 1 if Y2 > 0, and 0 otherwise.

Note

In order to evaluate the markers in this dataset, we need to provide the function trtsel with information from the full cohort tsdata. See the example below for help.
