psborrow.summary {psBayesborrow}

Summarizing simulation study results

Description

Simulation study results are summarized.

Usage

psborrow.summary(object)

Arguments

object

List of simulation results.

Value

The psborrow.summary returns a list containing the following objects:

res.out

Data frame containing (1) rate that the null hypothesis is rejected in Bayesian one-sided hypothesis testing, (2) bias in posterior mean of treatment effect (log hazard ratio, log odds ratio, or mean difference), (3) empirical standard deviation (EmpSD), derived by taking the standard deviation of posterior mean of treatment effect that each simulated trial yielded, (4) model standard deviation ((ModSD)), derived by taking the average of posterior standard deviation of treatment effect that each simulated trial yielded, (5) ratio of ModSD to EmpSD, (6) Coverage probability of credible interval.

res.cov

Data frame containing (1) mean, median, and standard deviation of overlapping coefficients of propensity score densities between treatment versus concurrent control plus external control and between concurrent control versus external control, (2) mean, median, and standard deviation of overlapping coefficients of continuous covariate densities between treatment versus concurrent control plus external control and between concurrent control versus external control, and (3) mean, median, and standard deviation of rate differences of binary covariate between treatment versus concurrent control plus external control and between concurrent control versus external control.

n.CT

Number of patients in treatment group in the current trial.

n.CC

Number of patients in concurrent control group in the current trial.

n.ECp

Number of patients in external control pool.

n.EC

Number of patients in external control.

drift

Hazard ratio, odds ratio, or mean difference between concurrent and external control for which the bias should be plotted. The measure depends on the outcome type.

method.psest

Method of estimating the propensity score.

method.pslink

Link function used in estimating the propensity score.

method.whomatch

Options of who to match.

method.matching

Matching method.

method.psorder

Order that the matching takes place when a nearest neighbor matching is used.
