SelfControlledCohort: Self-Controlled Cohort Population-Level Estimation

Estimates incidence rate ratios by comparing time exposed with time unexposed among an exposed cohort using self-controlled cohort methodology as described in Ryan et al. (2013) <doi:10.1002/pds.3457>. Functions used for empirical calibration of effect estimates, confidence intervals, and p-values are included to control for residual bias.
