# aVirtualTwins
An adaptation of VirtualTwins method from [Foster, J. C., Taylor, J. M.G. and Ruberg, S. J. (2011)](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sim.4322/abstract)
VirtualTwins is a method of subgroup identification from randomized clinical trial data.
As an intern in a french pharmaceutical group, i worked on this method and develop a package based on Jared Foster and al method.
## (Very) Quick Preview
```r
# Load data
data(sepsis)
# Format data
vt.obj <- vt.data(sepsis, "survival", "THERAPY", T)
# Print Incidences of sepsis data
vt.obj$getIncidences()
# $table
# trt
# resp 0 1 sum
# 0 101 188 289
# 1 52 129 181
# sum 153 317 470
# Incidence 0.34 0.407 0.385
#
# $rr
# [1] 1.197059
#
# First step : create random forest model
vt.for <- vt.forest("one", vt.obj, T, ntree = 500)
# Second step : find rules in data
vt.trees <- vt.tree("class",
vt.for,
threshold = quantile(vt.for$difft, seq(.5,.8,.1)),
maxdepth = 2)
# Print results
vt.sbgrps <- vt.subgroups(vt.trees)
knitr::kable(vt.sbgrps)
```

## Infos
Currently this package works for RCT with two treatments groups and binary outcome.
This is the *dev version 0.0.0.2* and often updated.
Most of the package use Reference Class programing (in R). Feel free to create your own classes.
I got a *WARNING* when Checking package for "cheking PDF version of manual" because of my version of LaTeX. Need to fix it.
