		Design and Analysis Tools for Target Trial Emulation // Design
		and analysis tools for target trial emulation using
		longitudinal observational data. Functions are provided for
		checking person-period data, expanding longitudinal data into
		sequentially nested trials, estimating inverse probability
		weights for intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses, and
		assessing weight distributions and covariate balance.
		Additional functions fit weighted pooled discrete-time outcome
		models, obtain standardized risks and treatment contrasts, and
		estimate weighted Kaplan-Meier and Aalen-Johansen curves. Two
		worked examples based on fully synthetic data illustrate an
		active-comparator new-user study comparing sodium-glucose
		cotransporter 2 inhibitors with dipeptidyl peptidase-4
		inhibitors and an analysis of sequentially nested trials
		comparing angiotensin receptor blocker and calcium channel
		blocker strategies.
