## Overview

`tern.gee` provides an interface for generalized estimating equations (GEE) within the
[`tern`](https://insightsengineering.github.io/tern/) framework
to produce commonly used tables (using [`rtables`](https://insightsengineering.github.io/rtables/) and graphs.
`tern.gee` provides an interface for generalized estimating equations (GEE) within the [`tern`](https://insightsengineering.github.io/tern/) framework to produce commonly used tables (using [`rtables`](https://insightsengineering.github.io/rtables/) and graphs.
It builds on the R-package `geepack` for the actual GEE calculations.

## When to use this package

If you would like to use the [`tern`](https://insightsengineering.github.io/tern/) framework for
tabulation and graphs, then this package is ideal for your GEE fits.
However if you use another reporting framework then it will be better to directly use
`geepack` and perform the tabulation and plots differently.

## Main Features

* Fitting of GEE models to continuous longitudinal data collected over several time points
(called visits) and optionally treatment arms.

* Tabulation of least square means per visit and treatment arm.
* Tabulation of the covariance matrix estimate.

or you can install the latest development version directly from GitHub by running the following:

``` r
if (!require("remotes")) install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("insightsengineering/tern.gee")
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("insightsengineering/tern.gee")
