Usage

mcc_final_values(x)

Arguments

x

An mcc object

Value

A named numeric vector with final MCC values

Examples

# Create sample data
library(dplyr)
df <- data.frame(
  id = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5),
  time = c(8, 1, 5, 2, 6, 7, 3, 3),
  cause = c(0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2),
  group = c("A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "B", "A", "A")
) |>
  arrange(id, time)

# Ungrouped analysis
mcc_ungrouped <- mcc(df, "id", "time", "cause")
#> Warning: Found 1 participant where last observation is an event of interest (`cause_var`
#> = 1)
#> ! ID: 4
#>  `mcc()` assumes these participants are censored at their final `time_var`
#>  If participants were actually censored or experienced competing risks after

#>  Adjusted time points for events occurring simultaneously for the same subject.
