--- title: "Alzheimer's Trial: Linear Progression with Delayed Treatment Onset" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Alzheimer's Trial} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r, include = FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>") ``` This vignette analyzes a simulated ADNI-style trial using `pmrm_delayed()` with profile-likelihood delay estimation. ```{r setup} library(progme) data(adni_simulated) fit <- tryCatch( pmrm_delayed(adas_cog ~ time * trt, data = adni_simulated, subject_var = "rid", delay_estimation = "profile", delay_grid = seq(0, 18, by = 3), lambda = 0.5), error = function(e) e ) if (!inherits(fit, "error")) { print(fit) s <- summary(fit) head(s$t_table) } else { message("Demo fit skipped: ", conditionMessage(fit)) } ``` The profile log-likelihood and its chi-squared threshold give an approximate confidence interval for the onset delay.
