oceNPMLE function

Estimate win ratio or Mann-Whitney parameter using NPMLE

Estimation done using NPMLE (nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators of survival).

oceNPMLE(oceData)

Arguments

• oceData: output from oceFormat

Returns

An object of class 'oceNPMLE', which is a list with the following elements (where Yg=ordered composite endpoint score for group=g):

• oceNames: long names for each of the ordered endpoints
• TAU: maximum of all the time-to-event variables (even censored ones)
• KM0: survfit output for group=0 subset
• KM1: survfit output for group=1 subset
• WR: win ratio, estimate of P[Y1>Y0]/P[Y0>Y1]
• MW: desirability of outcome ranking, estimate of P[Y1>Y0]+(1/2)P[Y1=Y0]
