Subset mcc object by groups — subset

For grouped mcc objects, extracts results for specified groups only. This is useful for focusing on specific groups of interest or creating custom visualizations.

Usage

subset_mcc(x, groups)

Arguments

x: A grouped mcc object
groups: Character vector of group names to include

Value

An mcc object containing only the specified groups

Examples

# Create sample data with groups
library(dplyr)
df <- data.frame(
  id = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8),
  time = c(8, 1, 5, 2, 6, 7, 3, 3, 4, 9, 2),
  cause = c(0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0, 2),
  treatment = c("Control", "Control", "Treatment", "Treatment",
                "Treatment", "Treatment", "Control", "Control",
                "Placebo", "Placebo", "Placebo")
) |>
  arrange(id, time)
