Create a repeated object, removing NAs

Usage

rmna(response, tvcov=NULL, ccov=NULL)

Arguments

response An object of class, response (created by restovec), containing the response variable information.
tvcov An object of class, tvcov (created by tvctomat), containing the time-varying covariate information.
tccov An object of class, tccov (created by tcctomat), containing the time-constant covariate information.

Description

rmna forms an object of class, repeated, from a response object and possibly time-varying covariate (tvcov), and time-constant covariate (tccov) objects, removing any response and covariate values that have NAs.

Such objects can be printed and plotted.

Value

Returns an object of class, repeated, containing a list of the response object (z$response, so that, for example, the response vector is z$response$y; see restovec), and possibly the two classes of covariate objects (z$ccov and z$tvcov).
