LocalControl 1.1.0 (2017-11-22)

Major changes

• Deprecated the localControlCompetingRisks(), localControlNearestNeighbors(), and (hidden) doLocalControl() functions.

• Added a new function in their place, LocalControl().

• The behavior of the three removed functions now exists in this function.

• The new “outcomeType” parameter allows users to toggle between the competingRisks and NearestNeighbors functionality.

• Deprecated the plotLocalControlCIF and plotLocalControlLTD functions, replaced with s3 (plot()) functions.

• Added S3 functions: print() and summary() have also been added for the LocalControl classes.

• Changed the structure of the LocalControlCS and LocalControlCR objects.

• The summary is now created upon request using the summary() s3 function with the LocalControl classes.

• Added a formula interface for LocalControl (beta).

  LocalControl(data = lindner, modelForm = formula('cardbill ~ abcix | stent + female + acutemi'))

  Is now a valid alternative to:

  LocalControl( data = lindner, clusterVars = c("stent", "female", "acutemi"), treatmentColName = "abcix", outcomeColName = "cardbill")
