estimate_erf function

Estimate Exposure Response Function

Estimates the exposure-response function (ERF) for a matched and weighted dataset using parametric, semiparametric, and nonparametric models.

estimate_erf(.data, .formula, weights_col_name, model_type, w_vals, ...)

Arguments

• .data: A data frame containing an observed continuous exposure variable, weights, and an observed outcome variable. Includes an id column for future reference.

• .formula: A formula specifying the relationship between the exposure variable and the outcome variable. For example, Y ~ w.

• weights_col_name: A string representing the weight or counter column name in .data.

• model_type: A string representing the model type based on preliminary assumptions, including parametric, semiparametric, and nonparametric

  models.

• w_vals: A numeric vector of values at which you want to calculate the ERF.

• ...: Additional arguments passed to the model.

Returns

Returns an S3 object containing the following data and parameters:

• .data_original <- result_data_original
• .data_prediction <- result_data_prediction
• params
