Function to keep all event times
timesTokeep(data, id, tstart, tstop, mes.cov, time.cov)
data |
dataframe containing the following variables |
id |
patient's id |
tstart |
date of the beginning of the follow-up (in Date format) |
tstop |
date of the end of the follow-up (in Date format) |
mes.cov |
list of vectors, each of them must contain the names (in character format) of the repeated measurements related to one time-dependent covariate |
time.cov |
list of vectors, each of them must contain the times (in Date format) of the date when the abovementioned measurements were done |
list of two lists, one in Date format the other in numeric format. Each of them contains, for each patient, the event time and the times of changes in time-varying covariates
