The goal of sjosmooth is to provide kernel smoothed estimates for time to event data.
You can install the released version of sjosmooth from GitHub with:
remotes::install_github("ddsjoberg/sjosmooth")
The sjosmooth package has two primary functions. The first
calculates kernel-weighted regression models (sm_regression
). The user
specifies a regression model and a variable for weighting, and
sm_regression
will estimate a weighted regression model for each
unique value of the specified variable.
The second function (sm_predict
) calculates kernel-weighted
predictions from regression models (i.e. outcomes that can be calculated
from the predict
function).
The package was written generally, such that any regression model should
be compatible. However, only survival::coxph()
, and
survival::survreg()
, stats::lm()
, and stats::glm()
models were
tested.
