outstandR: Outcome regression standardisation

R-CMD-check Lifecycle: experimental License: GPL v3

Model-based Standardisation with G-estimation

Overview

outstandR is an R package designed to facilitate outcome regression standardisation using model-based approaches, particularly focusing on G-estimation. The package provides tools to apply standardisation techniques for indirect treatment comparisons, especially in scenarios with limited individual patient data.

Key features include:

  • G-computation methods
  • Multiple imputation marginalisation
  • MAIC, STC for comparison

This R package contains code originally written for the papers:

Remiro-Azócar, A., Heath, A. & Baio, G. (2022) Parametric G-computation for Compatible Indirect Treatment Comparisons with Limited Individual Patient Data. Res Synth Methods;1–31.
