Locally Sparse Estimator of Generalized Varying Coefficient
Model for Asynchronous Longitudinal Data
Locally sparse estimator of generalized varying coefficient model for asynchronous longitudinal data by kernel-weighted estimating equation.

Local Control: An R Package for Generating High Quality
Comparative Effectiveness Evidence
Nicolas R. Lauve, Stuart J. Nelson, S. Stanley Young, Robert L. Obenchain, Christophe G. Lambert
Implements novel nonparametric approaches to address
biases and confounding when comparing treatments or exposures in
observational studies of outcomes. While designed and appropriate for use
in studies involving medicine and the life sciences, the package can be
used in other situations involving outcomes with multiple confounders.
The package implements a family of methods for nonparametric bias
correction when comparing treatments in cross-sectional, case-control,
and survival analysis settings, including competing risks with censoring.
The approach extends to bias-corrected personalized predictions of
treatment outcome differences, and analysis of heterogeneity of treatment
effect-sizes across patient subgroups.
