    Description

    The aim of this project was to enhance TreeExtraction/CIDA software and TreeScan to enable sequential TreeScan analyses over time. This project developed adjustments to maintain multiplicity control in tree-based scan statistics (Unconditional Bernoulli) to account for sequentially arriving analytic datasets. These sequential adjustments were developed for the fixed-window self-controlled study design and the propensity score matched study design.
