The goal of revents is make all the recurrent event functions for non-terminal events available for analysing recurrent events in chronic diseases. It is partially based on the master’s thesis: “Analysing recurrent events in Multiple Sclerosis: overview of statistical models with application in the MSOAC database”.
Tutorial
To learn how to use the revents vignettes, refer to the vignette section. The vignette provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the tutorial to analyse recurrent events in chronic diseases.
