+# beeca Package - Claude Agent Context
+
+## Package Overview
+
+**beeca** (Binary Endpoint Estimation with Covariate Adjustment) is a lightweight R package for estimating marginal treatment effects in clinical trials with binary outcomes using logistic regression working models with covariate adjustment.
+
+**Version:** 0.2.0
+**License:** LGPL (>= 3)
+**Authors:** Alex Przybylski, Mark Baillie, Craig Wang, Dominic Magirr (Novartis)
+
+## Purpose and Scope
+
+### Primary Goal
+Facilitate quick industry adoption and use within GxP environments for covariate-adjusted analyses in randomized clinical trials.
+
+### Use Cases
+- Clinical trials with binary endpoints
+- Covariate-adaptive randomization (stratified permuted block or biased coin)
+- Superiority and non-inferiority trials
+- FDA guidance-compliant robust variance estimation
+
+### Summary Measures Supported
+- Risk Difference (diff)
+- Odds Ratio (or)
+- Risk Ratio (rr)
+- Log Odds Ratio (logor)
+- Log Risk Ratio (logrr)
+
+## Methodology
+
+The package implements two robust variance estimation approaches:
+
+1. **Ge et al. (2011)** - Delta method for conditional average treatment effect
+ - Uses sandwich variance estimators (HC0, HC1, HC2, HC3, HC4, HC4m, HC5, model-based)
+ - Suitable for conditional ATE estimation
+
+2. **Ye et al. (2023)** - Robust variance for population average treatment effect
+ - Supports stratification variables
+ - Cross-validated against RobinCar package
+ - Modified implementation option for improved stability
+
+Both methods use g-computation for marginal effect estimation.
+
+## Core Architecture
+
+### Functional Pipeline
+
+The package uses a functional composition pattern with 5 main exported functions:
+
+```r
+glm_object |>
+ predict_counterfactuals(trt) |> # Generate potential outcomes
+ average_predictions() |> # Average across population
+ estimate_varcov(method, type) |> # Robust variance estimation
+ apply_contrast(contrast, ref) |> # Calculate treatment effect
+ get_marginal_effect() # Wrapper function
+```
+
+### Key Functions
+
+| Function | Location | Purpose |
+|----------|----------|---------|
+| `get_marginal_effect()` | `R/get_marginal_effect.R` | High-level wrapper orchestrating the pipeline |
+| `predict_counterfactuals()` | `R/predict_counterfactuals.R` | Generate predictions for all treatment levels |
+| `average_predictions()` | `R/average_predictions.R` | Compute mean predictions per treatment |
+| `estimate_varcov()` | `R/estimate_varcov.R` | Estimate variance-covariance matrix |
+| `apply_contrast()` | `R/apply_contrast.R` | Calculate marginal effects with contrasts |
+| `sanitize_model()` | `R/sanitize.R` | Validate glm object (S3 generic) |
+
+### Object Structure
+
+The package augments the standard glm object rather than creating new classes. After processing, a glm object contains:
+
+**Original glm components** (preserved):
+- coefficients, residuals, fitted.values, etc.
+
+**Added by beeca**:
+- `counterfactual.predictions` - Tibble with predictions for all treatment scenarios
+- `counterfactual.means` - Named vector of mean predictions per treatment
+- `robust_varcov` - Variance-covariance matrix with method attribute
+- `marginal_est` - Point estimate(s) of treatment effect(s)
+- `marginal_se` - Standard error(s) of treatment effect(s)
+- `marginal_results` - **Analysis Results Data (ARD) tibble**
+
+## Analysis Results Data (ARD) Structure
+
+The `marginal_results` component is a key output providing pharmaceutical industry-standard reporting format.
+
+### ARD Schema
+
+| Column | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `TRTVAR` | character | Treatment variable name |
+| `TRTVAL` | character | Treatment level value |
+| `PARAM` | character | Parameter name (outcome variable) |
+| `ANALTYP1` | character | "DESCRIPTIVE" or "INFERENTIAL" |
+| `STAT` | character | Statistic type (N, n, %, risk, risk_se, contrast, contrast_se) |
+| `STATVAL` | numeric | Numeric value of the statistic |
+| `ANALMETH` | character | Method (count, percentage, g-computation, variance type) |
+| `ANALDESC` | character | Description including beeca version |
+
+### ARD Row Structure
+
+**For 2-arm trial (12 rows):**
+- Rows 1-5: Treatment arm 0 (N, n, %, risk, risk_se)
+- Rows 6-10: Treatment arm 1 (N, n, %, risk, risk_se)
+- Rows 11-12: Contrast estimate and SE
+
+**For 3-arm trial (19 rows):**
+- Rows 1-15: Three arms × 5 statistics each
+- Rows 16-19: Multiple pairwise contrasts

+# beeca Package - Potential Enhancements
+
+## Overview
+This document brainstorms potential enhancements to the beeca package based on the current implementation and user needs. Enhancements are categorized by theme and priority.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Statistical Methods & Variance Estimation
+
+### 1.1 Additional Variance Estimators
+**Priority:** Medium-High
+**Description:** Extend variance estimation options beyond Ge and Ye methods.
+
+**Potential additions:**
+- **Bootstrap methods** (parametric, non-parametric, wild bootstrap)
+ - Pro: Model-agnostic, handles complex designs
+ - Con: Computationally intensive, requires careful implementation
+ - Use case: When asymptotic assumptions questionable
+
+- **Jackknife variance estimation**
+ - Pro: Simple, robust
+ - Con: Can be conservative
+ - Use case: Small to moderate sample sizes
+
+- **Permutation-based inference**
+ - Pro: Exact inference under randomization
+ - Con: Limited to certain designs
+ - Use case: Stratified randomization with small strata
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+```r
+get_marginal_effect(..., method = c("Ge", "Ye", "bootstrap", "jackknife"))
+```
+
+### 1.2 Finite Sample Corrections
+**Priority:** Medium
+**Description:** Add small-sample corrections for variance estimators.
+
+**Options:**
+- Kenward-Roger style corrections
+- Satterthwaite degrees of freedom adjustments
+- Bias-corrected sandwich estimators (HC4m, HC5)
+
+**Rationale:** Current methods rely on asymptotic theory; small trials need better coverage.
+
+### 1.3 Heteroskedasticity-Robust Tests
+**Priority:** Low-Medium
+**Description:** Add hypothesis testing functions with robust variance.
+
+```r
+test_marginal_effect(fit,
+ null_value = 0,
+ alternative = c("two.sided", "greater", "less"),
+ method = c("wald", "score", "likelihood"))
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Model Extensions

+) |>
+ get_marginal_effect_multi(trt = "trtp", adjust_multiplicity = TRUE)
+
+# Joint testing
+joint_test(fit_multi, method = "bonferroni")
+```
+
+### 2.2 Time-to-Event Extension
+**Priority:** Medium
+**Description:** Extend to survival outcomes with covariate adjustment.
+
+**Approaches:**
+- Cox model with g-computation for marginal hazard ratios
+- Restricted mean survival time (RMST) differences
+- Pseudo-observation methods
+
+**Note:** May warrant separate package (e.g., `beeca.survival`)
+
+### 2.3 Continuous Outcome Support
+**Priority:** Medium-High
+**Description:** Extend beyond binary to continuous outcomes.
+
+**Methods:**
+- Linear regression working models
+- Robust variance for mean differences
+- Variance estimation for non-normal outcomes
+
+**Implementation:**
+```r
+fit_cont <- glm(aval_cont ~ trtp + bl_cov, family = gaussian, data = trial01) |>
+ get_marginal_effect(trt = "trtp", method = "HC3", contrast = "diff")
+```
+
+### 2.4 Ordinal Outcome Support
+**Priority:** Low-Medium

+#' Augment method for beeca objects
+#'
+#' @description
+#'
+#' Augments the original dataset with predictions and counterfactual outcomes
+#' from a beeca analysis. This function provides a broom-compatible interface
+#' for accessing individual-level predictions and potential outcomes under
+#' different treatment assignments.
+#'
+#' @details
+#'
+#' The `augment.beeca()` method returns the original dataset used in the
+#' analysis, augmented with additional columns containing:
+#' - Fitted values from the working model (`.fitted`)
+#' - Counterfactual predictions for each treatment level
+#' - Optionally, residuals and other diagnostic information
+#'
+#' This is particularly useful for:
+#' - Examining individual predictions and potential outcomes
+#' - Creating plots of treatment effects across covariates
+#' - Conducting sensitivity analyses
+#' - Understanding how g-computation works at the individual level
+#'
+#' Each counterfactual column represents the predicted outcome if that
+#' subject were assigned to a specific treatment level, holding all other
+#' covariates constant.
+#'
+#' @param x a beeca object (glm object modified by \link[beeca]{get_marginal_effect})
+#' @param data optional dataset to augment. If NULL (default), uses the data
+#' from the original model fit.
+#' @param newdata deprecated. Use `data` instead.
+#' @param type.predict type of prediction to include as `.fitted`. Options are
+#' "response" (default, predicted probabilities) or "link" (linear predictor scale).
+#' @param type.residuals type of residuals to include. Options are "deviance" (default),
+#' "pearson", "response", or "working". Set to NULL to exclude residuals.
+#' @param ... additional arguments (not currently used)
+#'

+#' Quick beeca analysis pipeline
+#'
+#' @importFrom stats binomial
+#'
+#' @description
+#'
+#' A convenience function that streamlines the workflow for conducting a
+#' covariate-adjusted marginal treatment effect analysis. This function combines
+#' model fitting and marginal effect estimation in a single call, with
+#' automatic data preprocessing and informative messages.
+#'
+#' @details
+#'
+#' This function provides a simplified interface to the beeca workflow by:
+#' - Automatically converting the treatment variable to a factor if needed
+#' - Building the model formula from variable names
+#' - Fitting the logistic regression model
+#' - Computing marginal effects with robust variance estimation
+#' - Providing informative progress messages
+#'
+#' For more control over the analysis, use \code{glm()} followed by
+#' \code{get_marginal_effect()} directly.
+#'
+#' @param data a data frame containing the analysis variables
+#' @param outcome character string specifying the outcome variable name.
+#' Must be coded as 0/1 or a factor with two levels.
+#' @param treatment character string specifying the treatment variable name.
+#' Will be converted to a factor if not already one.
+#' @param covariates optional character vector specifying covariate names for
+#' adjustment. If NULL, an unadjusted analysis is performed.
+#' @param method variance estimation method. One of "Ye" (default) or "Ge".
+#' See \link[beeca]{get_marginal_effect} for details.
+#' @param contrast type of summary measure. One of "diff" (risk difference,
+#' default), "rr" (risk ratio), "or" (odds ratio), "logrr" (log risk ratio),
+#' or "logor" (log odds ratio).
+#' @param reference optional character string or vector specifying reference
+#' treatment level(s) for comparisons. If NULL, defaults to first level.
+#' @param strata optional character vector specifying stratification variables
+#' (only used with method = "Ye").
+#' @param family a GLM family. Default is binomial() for logistic regression.
+#' @param verbose logical indicating whether to print progress messages.
+#' Default is TRUE.
+#' @param ... additional arguments passed to \link[beeca]{get_marginal_effect}

+
+## Overview
+
+The **beeca** package produces Analysis Results Data (ARD) in a CDISC-inspired format through the `marginal_results` component. This vignette explores the relationship between beeca's ARD structure and the more general ARD framework provided by the [insightsengineering/cards](https://github.com/insightsengineering/cards) and [insightsengineering/cardx](https://github.com/insightsengineering/cardx) packages.
+
+## ARD Frameworks Comparison
+
+### beeca ARD Structure
+
+The beeca package creates ARDs following pharmaceutical industry conventions for clinical trial reporting:
+
+```{r setup, eval=FALSE}
+library(beeca)
+
+trial01$trtp <- factor(trial01$trtp)
+fit1 <- glm(aval ~ trtp + bl_cov, family = "binomial", data = trial01) |>
+ get_marginal_effect(trt = "trtp", method = "Ye", contrast = "diff", reference = "0")
+
+fit1$marginal_results
+```
+
+**beeca ARD Schema:**
+
+| Column | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `TRTVAR` | character | Treatment variable name |
+| `TRTVAL` | character | Treatment level value |
+| `PARAM` | character | Parameter/outcome variable name |
+| `ANALTYP1` | character | Analysis type (DESCRIPTIVE or INFERENTIAL) |
+| `STAT` | character | Statistic identifier (N, n, %, risk, risk_se, diff, diff_se) |
+| `STATVAL` | numeric | Numeric value of the statistic |
+| `ANALMETH` | character | Analysis method (count, percentage, g-computation, HC0, etc.) |
+| `ANALDESC` | character | Analysis description including package version |
+
+**Key Features:**
+- CDISC ADaM-inspired column names (PARAM, ANALTYP1)
+- Compact structure optimized for clinical trial reporting
+- Single value per row (atomic numeric type)
+- Direct integration with CDISC workflows
+
+### cards/cardx ARD Structure
+
+The cards package provides a more general ARD framework for statistical computing:
+
+**cards ARD Schema:**
+
+| Column | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `group1` | First grouping variable name |
+| `group1_level` | Level/value of first grouping variable |
+| `group2` | Second grouping variable name (optional) |
+| `group2_level` | Level/value of second grouping variable (optional) |
+| `variable` | The analysis variable name |
+| `variable_level` | Specific level of the variable (for categorical) |
+| `stat_name` | Statistical measure identifier |
+| `stat_label` | Human-readable label for the statistic |
+| `stat` | The calculated value (list-column) |
+| `context` | Analysis context metadata |
+| `fmt_fn` | Formatting function reference (list-column) |
+| `warning` | Warnings from calculation (list-column) |
+| `error` | Errors from calculation (list-column) |
+
+**Key Features:**
+- List-column structure for flexible data types
+- Built-in error/warning capture
+- Human-readable labels separate from internal names
+- Formatting functions attached to each statistic
+- Extensible context system
+
+## Mapping Between Frameworks
+
+| beeca | cards | Notes |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| `TRTVAR` | `group1` | Treatment variable name |
+| `TRTVAL` | `group1_level` | Treatment level |
+| `PARAM` | `variable` | Outcome variable |
+| `STAT` | `stat_name` | Statistic identifier |
+| `STATVAL` | `stat` | Value (numeric vs list-column) |
+| `ANALTYP1` + `ANALMETH` | `context` | Analysis context |
+| — | `stat_label` | Missing in beeca |
+| — | `fmt_fn` | Missing in beeca |
+| — | `warning`, `error` | Missing in beeca |
+| `ANALDESC` | attribute | Package metadata |
+
+## Converting beeca ARD to cards Format
+
+The beeca package provides the `beeca_to_cards_ard()` function to convert `marginal_results` output to the cards ARD format. This enables seamless integration with the cards/cardx ecosystem.
+
+The conversion function:
+- Maps beeca columns (TRTVAR, TRTVAL, PARAM, STAT, STATVAL) to cards columns (group1, group1_level, variable, stat_name, stat)
+- Adds human-readable stat_label for each statistic
+- Converts atomic numeric values to list-columns (required by cards)
+- Consolidates ANALTYP1 and ANALMETH into a single context field
+- Preserves original beeca metadata as attributes
+
+See `?beeca_to_cards_ard` for detailed documentation and the mapping table between beeca and cards columns.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```{r example-usage, eval=FALSE}
+# Fit model and get beeca results
+trial01$trtp <- factor(trial01$trtp)
+fit1 <- glm(aval ~ trtp + bl_cov, family = "binomial", data = trial01) |>
+ get_marginal_effect(trt = "trtp", method = "Ye", contrast = "diff", reference = "0")
+
+# Convert to cards format
+cards_ard <- beeca_to_cards_ard(fit1$marginal_results)
+
+# Now can use cards utilities
+cards::print_ard(cards_ard)
+
+# Bind with other cards ARDs
+combined_ard <- cards::bind_ard(
+ cards_ard,
+ cards::ard_continuous(trial01, by = trtp, variables = bl_cov)
+)
+```
+
+## Use Cases for Integration
+
+### 1. Comprehensive Reporting
+
+Combine beeca's covariate-adjusted treatment effects with descriptive statistics from cards:
+
+```{r comprehensive-reporting, eval=FALSE}
+# Treatment effect from beeca
+te_ard <- beeca_to_cards_ard(fit1$marginal_results)
+
+# Baseline characteristics from cards
+baseline_ard <- cards::ard_continuous(
+ data = trial01,
+ by = trtp,
+ variables = c(bl_cov, age, weight)
+)
+
+# Combine into comprehensive ARD
+full_ard <- cards::bind_ard(te_ard, baseline_ard)
+```
+
+### 2. Quality Control Workflows
+
+Use cards error-handling features with beeca results:
+
+```{r qc-workflow, eval=FALSE}
+# Multiple analyses with error capture
+analyses <- lapply(contrasts, function(contrast_type) {
+ cards::eval_capture_conditions({
+ glm(aval ~ trtp + bl_cov, family = "binomial", data = trial01) |>
+ get_marginal_effect(trt = "trtp", contrast = contrast_type) |>
+ (\(x) x$marginal_results)()
+ })
+})
+
+# Check for errors
+errors <- Filter(function(x) !is.null(x$error), analyses)
+```
+
+### 3. Cross-Study Meta-Analysis
+
+Standardize results across multiple studies:
+
+```{r meta-analysis, eval=FALSE}
+# Study 1 (beeca)
+study1_ard <- beeca_to_cards_ard(fit_study1$marginal_results) |>
+ dplyr::mutate(study = "STUDY001")
+
+# Study 2 (beeca)
+study2_ard <- beeca_to_cards_ard(fit_study2$marginal_results) |>
+ dplyr::mutate(study = "STUDY002")
+
+# Combine
+meta_ard <- cards::bind_ard(study1_ard, study2_ard)
+
+# Extract estimates for meta-analysis
+estimates <- meta_ard |>
+ dplyr::filter(stat_name == "diff") |>
+ dplyr::mutate(estimate = unlist(stat))
+```
+
+## When to Use Each Format
+
+### Use beeca's Native ARD When:
+- Working primarily in CDISC environments
+- Generating clinical trial reports
+- Compact storage is preferred
+- Integrating with ADaM datasets
+- Direct numeric values are sufficient
+
+### Convert to cards ARD When:
+- Combining with other cards/cardx analyses
+- Need error/warning tracking
+- Want formatting functions attached
+- Working with general statistical workflows
+- Need extensible metadata system
+- Generating complex multi-analysis reports
+
+## Design Philosophy Differences
+
+### beeca ARD
+- **Goal:** Clinical trial reporting efficiency
+- **Structure:** Compact, CDISC-aligned
+- **Storage:** Atomic numeric values
+- **Context:** Domain-specific columns (ANALTYP1, ANALMETH)
+- **Focus:** Marginal treatment effects
+
+### cards ARD
+- **Goal:** General statistical computing reproducibility
+- **Structure:** Flexible, extensible
+- **Storage:** List-columns for any data type
+- **Context:** Single extensible context column
+- **Focus:** Any statistical analysis
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+The beeca package now includes `beeca_to_cards_ard()` as an exported function for cards integration. Potential future additions include:
+
+1. **S3 Method:** `as_card.beeca()` for seamless conversion (currently using standalone function)
+2. **Native cards Output:** Optional `output = "cards"` parameter in `get_marginal_effect()`
+3. **Error Capture:** Wrap internal calculations with `eval_capture_conditions()`
+4. **Formatting Functions:** Attach default formatting to each statistic type
+5. **Stat Labels:** Add human-readable labels to ARD by default
