Clean subgroup labels for survFMM objects A common problem in finite mixture modeling is that subgroup labels are superficial, e.g., the group labeled 'subgroup 1' does not always correspond to the subgroup with the smallest treatment effect. The purpose of this function is to update subgroup labels in order of increasing magnitude of the treatment term such that subgroup 1 always has the smallest treatment term and subgroup 2 always has the largest treatment estimate.

Usage

clean_subgroup_labels(survFMM_object, tx_term)

Arguments

survFMM_object

Object returned from the survFMM function (may be either AFT-FMM or IPCW-FMM model)

tx_term

The name of the variable corresponding to the treatment

Value

aft_fmm_clean A survFMM object with the same list elements as the input object, but with subgroup labels ordered by increasing magnitude of the treatment term
