Helper functions for tabulating binary response by subgroup

Source: R/h_response_subgroups.R
h_response_subgroups.Rd

[Stable]

Helper functions that tabulate in a data frame statistics such as response rate and odds ratio for population subgroups.

Usage

h_proportion_df(rsp, arm)

h_proportion_subgroups_df(
  variables,
  data,
  groups_lists = list(),
  label_all = "All Patients"
)

h_odds_ratio_df(rsp, arm, strata_data = NULL, conf_level = 0.95, method = NULL)

h_odds_ratio_subgroups_df(
  variables,
  data,
  groups_lists = list(),
  conf_level = 0.95,
  method = NULL,
  label_all = "All Patients"
)

Arguments

rsp

(logical)
vector indicating whether each subject is a responder or not.

arm

(factor)
the treatment group variable.

variables

(named list of string)
list of additional analysis variables.

data

(data.frame)
the dataset containing the variables to summarize.

groups_lists

(named list of list)
optionally contains for each subgroups variable a list, which specifies the new group levels via the names and the levels that belong to it in the character vectors that are elements of the list.

label_all

(string)
label for the total population analysis.

strata_data

(factor, data.frame, or NULL)
required if stratified analysis is performed.

conf_level

(proportion)
confidence level of the interval.

method

(string or NULL)
specifies the test used to calculate the p-value for the difference between two proportions. For options, see s_test_proportion_diff(). Default is NULL so no test is performed.

Value

  • h_proportion_df() returns a data.frame with columns arm, n, n_rsp, and prop.

  • h_proportion_subgroups_df() returns a data.frame with columns arm, n, n_rsp, prop, subgroup, var, var_label, and row_type.

  • h_odds_ratio_df() returns a data.frame with columns arm, n_tot, or, lcl, ucl, conf_level, and optionally pval and pval_label.

  • h_odds_ratio_subgroups_df() returns a data.frame with columns arm, n_tot, or, lcl, ucl, conf_level, subgroup, var, var_label, and row_type.

Details

Main functionality is to prepare data for use in a layout-creating function.

Functions

  • h_proportion_df(): Helper to prepare a data frame of binary responses by arm.

  • h_proportion_subgroups_df(): Summarizes proportion of binary responses by arm and across subgroups in a data frame. variables corresponds to the names of variables found in data, passed as a named list and requires elements rsp, arm and optionally subgroups. groups_lists optionally specifies groupings for subgroups variables.

  • h_odds_ratio_df(): Helper to prepare a data frame with estimates of the odds ratio between a treatment and a control arm.

  • h_odds_ratio_subgroups_df(): Summarizes estimates of the odds ratio between a treatment and a control arm across subgroups in a data frame. variables corresponds to the names of variables found in data, passed as a named list and requires elements rsp, arm and optionally subgroups and strata. groups_lists optionally specifies groupings for subgroups variables.
