Description: Provides several confidence interval and testing procedures using
    event-specific win ratios for semi-competing risks data with non-terminal
    and terminal events, as developed in Yang et al. (2021, preprint). Compared with 
    conventional methods for survival data, these procedures are designed to utilize 
    more data for improved inference procedures with semi-competing risks data.
    The event-specific win ratios were introduced in Yang and Troendle 
    (2021<doi:10.1177/1740774520972408>). In this package, the event-specific win 
    ratios and confidence intervals are obtained for each event type, and several 
    testing procedures are developed for the global null of no treatment effect on 
    either terminal or non-terminal events. Furthermore, a test of proportional 
    hazard assumptions, under which the event-specific win ratios converge to the 
    hazard ratios, and a test of equal hazard ratios are provided. For summarizing 
    the treatment effect on all events, confidence intervals for linear combinations 
    of the event-specific win ratios are available using pre-determined or data-driven 
    weights. Asymptotic properties of these inference procedures are discussed in 
    Yang et al (2021, preprint). Also, transformations are used to yield better control 
    of the type one error rates for moderately sized data sets.
