Linear Trend in the Longitudinal Variable Importance Trajectory

Compute a nonparametric estimate of (and efficient influence function for) the linear trend in the longitudinal variable importance over a contiguous subset of the time series.

Usage

lvim_trend(lvim, indices = 1:length(lvim), delta = 0)

Arguments

lvim

an object of class lvim containing the cross-sectional variable importance objects

indices

a numeric vector indicating the contiguous subset of the time series

delta

null hypothesis value

Value

The lvim object, with point estimates, CIs, and p-values related to the linear trend in variable importance filled in.
