Fit all Canproj models

Source: R/models-canproj-all.R
canproj_all_methods.Rd

Fits all of the available canproj() methods. This function accepts all the same arguments as canproj() and they are passed on to each function call. The methods fit by this model include: "nordpred", "adpc-nb", "ac-poi", "ac-nb", "age-trd-poi", "age-trd-nb", "com-trd", "age-only", and "ave5".

Usage

canproj_all_methods(
  cdat,
  pdat,
  startp,
  standpop,
  projfor = "incidence",
  nagg = NULL,
  ncase = NULL,
  startage = NULL,
  newcohort = FALSE,
  ave5 = FALSE,
  sum5 = TRUE,
  linkfunc = "power5",
  cuttrd = 0.04,
  shortp = 0,
  pD = 0.05,
  pGOF = 0.05
)

Arguments

cdat

(age groups) * N (years) historical cancer data, 15<=N<=125.

pdat

(age groups) * (N + M) (years) observed and projected population, 5<=M<=25.

startp

The start calendar year of projection (e.g., 2009).

standpop

A StandardPopulation object that provides the weights (proportions) for each age group in a standard population.

projfor

Specify "incidence" or "mortality" if you want ASR as a criteria for nagg.

nagg

Number of years for data aggregation (by years). Default is 1-annual data.

ncase

Minimum number of cancer cases/deaths per year for splitting data.

startage

Youngest age group to include in the GLM. Default (NULL) picks based on mean cases.

newcohort

Assign new cohort effect as 0 (FALSE) or the last estimated cohort effect (TRUE), default is 0, use TRUE only if having evidence on negative new cohort effect.

ave5

ave5 = TRUE invokes the 5-year average method when age-only model is selected.

sum5

When the 5-year average method is used, sum5 = TRUE call the 5-year period based rate, otherwise (sum5 = FALSE), average the 5 rates in the 5 years for each age group.

linkfunc

Link function. Default is "power5". Can be one of "log", "sqrt", or "identity".

cuttrd

Degenerating percent of trends per year after 5 years (shortp = 0) or the first projection year.

shortp

Attenuation percent of drift term or slope for the first 5 projection years.

pD

Trend selecting criteria of p-value of drift (linear trend) term.

pGOF

Model selection criteria of p-value of goodness-of-fit.

Value

A list. The list contains the following items:

  • <selected_method>: Projection method selected by canproj().

  • nordpred: canproj object produced by the "nordpred" method.

  • adpc-nb: canproj object produced by the "adpc-nb" method.

  • ac-poi: canproj object produced by the "ac-poi" method.

  • ac-nb:canproj object produced by the "ac-nb" method.

  • a-s-nb: canproj object produced by the "a-s-nb" method.

  • a-s-poi: canproj object produced by the "a-s-poi" method.

  • c-t: canproj object produced by the "c-t" method.

  • average: canproj object produced by the "average" method.

  • ave5: canproj object produced by the "ave5" method.
