landmaRk 0.1.3 (2026-07-02)
Bug Fixes
landmaRk now supports more than one dynamic covariate.
landmaRk 0.1.2 (2026-06-26)
New Features
predict_longitudinal() now supports custom "summary measure" functions
for method (in the same spirit as "locf"), computed directly from the
raw longitudinal data without requiring a prior fit_longitudinal() call.
Such functions must have arguments data, id, time, value and
landmark.
Bug Fixes
predict_longitudinal() no longer requires fit_longitudinal() to have
been called when method is a summary measure (e.g. "locf" or a custom
function); the check for an existing model fit is now only applied to
fit-based prediction methods (e.g. "lcmm", "lme4"). `"locf"' is
implemented as a special case of summary measure
Other Changes
- Removed
timeROC from Imports as it is no longer used.
- Resolved an R CMD check NOTE about a missing global binding for
AUC in
performance_metrics().
