Estimate the marginal causal survival curves using potential outcome framework

Description

Estimate the marginal causal survival curves for simulating time-to-event data in a discrete manner based on the methods from Daniel et al.(2020).

Usage

calculate_statistics(model, trt)

Arguments

model

A fitted coxph model. This should be a coxph event model or censoring model.

trt

Character. Name of the treatment assignment variable.

Details

If the study period for the original data is divided into discrete windows, defined by the event times in the original data, at time t0 = 0, everyone in the simulated data is still a survivor. S(x) is the estimated survival function. By the end of the window (0,t1], a proportion S(t1) still survives. The conditional probability of surviving the next window, (t1,t2], conditional on surviving the first window, is S(t2)/S(t1), and so on. This function returns the S(t2)/S(t1) in series.

Value

Two vectors containing the marginal causal survival curves for treatment arms (1 for treatment arm; 0 for control arm/placebo). Each number is the probability of the surviving the time window (t1,t2],... conditional on surviving the prior corresponding window.

Control of marginal HR estimation via clustermq

Description

Construct control structures for marginal HR estimation. Specifically, this is the control for parallel computation via clustermq. It provides the nested parallel computation via LSF (remote parallel computation within remote parallel computation) and local multiprocess within remote parallel computation.

Usage

clmqControl(
  memory = 1024 * 32,
  local_se = FALSE,
  clmq_se = FALSE,
  clmq_hr = TRUE,
  clmq_local = FALSE,
  n_jobs = 100,
  local_cores = 1
)

Arguments

memory

Numeric. Memory allocation for the remote workers.

local_se

Bool. True for calculating SE using local multiprocess in remote workers. This is only useful when clmq_se = TRUE.

clmq_se

Bool. True for using parallel computation (nested or local) via clustermq. This can be combined with local_se to calculate SE with nested parallel computation or local multiprocess. Nested parallel computation means double parallel computations – each worker will do a parallel computation for simulate_counterfactuals. False for calculating SE only in remote workers without nested parallel computation and local multiprocess.

clmq_hr

Bool. True for calculating point estimate (marginal HR) using parallel computation via clustermq.

clmq_local

Bool. True for calculating point estimate (marginal HR) using local multiprocess in remote workers. This is only useful when clmq_hr = TRUE.

n_jobs

Numeric. Number of remote workers via clustermq.

local_cores

Numeric. Number of cores or processes used in local multiprocess. This is only useful when local_se or clmq_local = TRUE.

Details

The control function provides options to set the memory of each remote node, number of cpus used by each remote node, and computation approach (whether or not use the nested parallel computation or local multiprocess with parallel computation).

Value

A list containing the control arguments.

Examples

## Not run: 
#Don't run as it requires LSF scheduler

library(survival)
data("oak")

cox_event <- coxph(Surv(OS, os.status) ~ trt + btmb + pdl1, data = oak)

cox_censor <- coxph(Surv(OS, 1 - os.status) ~ trt + btmb + pdl1, data = oak)


get_marginal_effect(
  trt = "trt", cox_event = cox_event, cox_censor = cox_censor, SE = TRUE,
  M = 1000, n.boot = 10, data = oak, seed = 1, cpp = FALSE, control = clmqControl()
)



## End(Not run)

Calculate the marginal treatment effects for hazard ratio (HR) adjusting covariates in clinical trials

Description

Use the simulation approach from Daniel et al. (2020) to estimate the marginal HR when adjusting covariates. Standard error of marginal HR was estimated via the nonparametric bootstrap. The standard error of HR will converge with the increase of bootstrap. We suggest setting a large M for a more robust estimation. This function uses the parallel computation via remote LSF and local multiprocess. Additional feature also includes the C++ optimization that can speed up the calculation.

Usage

get_marginal_effect(
  trt,
  cox_event,
  cox_censor,
  data,
  M,
  SE = TRUE,
  seed = NULL,
  cpp = TRUE,
  n.boot = 1000,
  control = clmqControl(),
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

trt

Character. Variable name of the treatment assignment. Only support two arm trial at the moment.

cox_event

Object. A coxph model using the survival time and survival status.

cox_censor

Object. A coxph model using the survival time and 1-survival status.

data

A data frame used for cox_event and cox_censor.

M

Numeric. The number of simulated counterfactual patients. Suggest to set a large number to get robust results, but this will be very time comsuming.

SE

Bool. True for estimating SE. False for not estimating SE.

seed

Numeric. Random seed for simulation.

cpp

Bool. True for using C++ optimization. False for not using C++ optimization. This requires cpp package installed.

n.boot

Numeric. Number of bootstrap used.

control

Named list. A list containing control parameters, including memory of remote workers, whether to use nested parallel computation or local multiprocess, number of remote workers/jobs, etc. See details of clmqControl.

verbose

Bool. Print status messages. Default: TRUE

Details

In clinical trials, adjusting covariates like prognostic factors in the main analysis can increase the precision resulting in smaller SE. However, adjusting covariates in nonlinear models changes the target estimands, e.g. from marginal treatment effects to conditional treatment effects. This function has implemented the methods of Daniel et al. (2020) to estimate the marginal treatment effects when adjusting covariates. Increasing the M - the number of bootstrap can significantly increase the computation time. Hence, we introduced C++ optimization and parallel computation to speed up the calculation. It provides nested parallel computation via LSF and remote parallel computation with local multiprocess.

Value

A vector containing the marginal beta (logHR), standard error, and 95% CI.

Calculate the marginal restricted mean survival time (RMST) when adjusting covariates in clinical trials

Description

Estimate the marginal RMST (point estimate) using the Karrison et al.(2018). Standard errors (SE) were estimated using the methods from Zucker (1998), Chen and Tsiatis (2001), and Wei et al.(2023). We implemented both nonparametric(bootstrap) and parametric methods(delta) for SE.

Usage

get_rmst_estimate(
  time,
  status,
  trt,
  covariates = NULL,
  tau,
  SE = "delta",
  n.boot = 1000,
  seed = 1
)

Arguments

time

A vector containing the event time of the sample.

status

A vector containing the survival status of the sample.

trt

A vector indicating the treatment assignment. 1 for treatment group. 0 for placebo group.

covariates

A data frame containing the covariates. If covariates is NULL, unadjusted RMST is returned.

tau

Numeric. A value for the restricted time or the pre-specified cutoff time point.

SE

Character. If SE = 'boot', SE was estimated using nonparametric bootstrap. If 'delta', SE was estimated using the delta method. Default is 'delta'.

n.boot

Numeric. Number of bootstrap used. Only used if SE = 'boot'.

seed

Numeric. Random seed for bootstrap. Default:1.

Details

Restricted mean survival time is a measure of average survival time up to a specified time point. We adopted the methods from Karrison et al.(2018) for estimating the marginal RMST when adjusting covariates. For the SE, both nonparametric bootstrap and delta method are good for estimation. For the delta estimation of variance,we used a combined estimation including Zucker (1998) and Chen and Tsiatis (2001). SE (delta) = variance from Zucker (1998) + additional variance component from Chen and Tsiatis (2001).The additional variance is coming from treating covariates as random.

Value

A list including marginal RMST and SE.

Bool. True for using C++ optimization. False for not using C++ optimization. This requires cpp package installed.

control

Named list. A list containing control parameters, including memory of remote workers, whether to use nested parallel computation or local multiprocess, number of remote workers/jobs, etc. See details of clmqControl.

verbose

Bool. Print status messages. Default: TRUE

Details

If clustermq is not available, we suggest building your own bootstrap like boot and doParallel by using the function – get_point_estimate. This can also get you the SE or variance estimates. If you only run this function, you need to have cox_censor and cox_event in the environment.

Value

A vector containing SE and 95% CI.
