# - formula is the regression equation as you'd specify in e.g. the lm function
# - GR gives the name of your treatment variable (here TR)
# - Lowest GR value is by default assumed to be the comparator group
# - Default trimming fraction trF is adaptive, another trimming fraction can be specified,
# but nothing smaller than the largest observed dropout proportion.
# - If no trimming fraction is specified, and there is no dropout, then the default is 50% trimming
# - Trimming side is user specified (LOWer value trimming or HIGHer value trimming)
# - n_perm is the number of permutation to obtain p value/ 95% CI. Default value is 1000
# - The adjusted estimate can only be computed for 50% trimming. Default is no calculation of the adjusted
# - estimate (adj_est=FALSE).
# details. The trimmed means estimate is subject to two assumptions: the strong MNAR assumption
# requires that all dropouts (unobserved outcome values) are located in the fraction of the distribution
# that is trimmed away; the location shift assumption requires the group variances of the full sample
# to be equal. The adjusted trimmed means estimator relaxes the latter, but assumes normally distributed
# outcomes.
#' @name tm
#' @title Fitting Trimmed Mean Linear Models:
#'
#' @description \code{tm} performs a trimmed means analysis for data with a continuous outcome/response and a binary
#' treatment/exposure variable. Outcomes are sorted and trimmed per treatment group, and a linear
#' regression is fitted using [`lm`].
#'
#' @param formula an object of class [`formula`], specifying the model, of the form
#' \code{outcome ~ terms}, where \code{terms} must include the binary treatment variable, with additional
#' variables optional.
#' @param GR a string denoting the name of the binary treatment variable. This function assumes the
#' lowest value to be the comparator/reference group
#' @param trF a number between 0 and 1, specifying the trimming fraction: the proportion of the data that is trimmed away
#' for each treatment group. \code{trF} should be equal to or greater than the largest observed
#' dropout proportion. If left unspecified, a default trimming fraction of 0.5 is assumed.
#' @param side specifies if higher value trimming (`"HIGH"`) or lower value trimming (`"LOW"`) should be performed.
#' @param n_perm the number of permutations performed to obtain the p-value and 95% confidence intervals
#' for the estimates. Default is 1000.
#' @param adj_est logical. If \code{TRUE} the adjusted trimmed means estimate is computed. The default is `FALSE`.
#' @param data a data frame containing the variables in the model. \code{data} should contain at least the following:
#' a numeric outcome variable and a binary treatment variable (numeric, character or factor).
#'
#' @section Details: The trimmed means estimate is subject to two assumptions: the strong MNAR assumption requires
#' that all dropouts (unobserved outcome values) are located in the fraction of the distribution
#' that is trimmed away; the location shift assumption requires the group variances of the full sample
#' to be equal. The adjusted trimmed means estimator relaxes the latter, but assumes normally
#' distributed outcomes. The adjustment is performed on the group with the smallest dropout proportion.
#'
#' The p-value and 95% confidence intervals for the trimmed means estimate and the adjusted trimmed means
#' estimate are obtained in a permutation approach.
#'
#' @return \code{tm} returns an object of class `tm`.
#' The function \code{summary} is used to obtain a summary of the results. The generic accessor function
#' \code{coefficients} extracts the regression coefficients with corresponding p-values and 95% confidence intervals.
#'
#' An object of class "\code{tm}" is a list containing the following components:
#' \item{call}{the matched call}
#' \item{n}{the number of observations per treatment group}
#' \item{dropout}{the proportion of dropout per treatment group}
#' \item{trimfrac}{the proportion of data that was trimmed away per treatment group}
#' \item{trimside}{specifies if lower or higher value trimming was performed}
#' \item{n_after_trimming}{the number of observations per treatment group after trimming}
#' \item{coefficients}{an array of coefficients with corresponding p-values and 95% confidence intervals}
#' \item{Analysis_details}{reiterates trimming fraction and side, and, for adjest=TRUE specifies if the adjustment was performed on the comparator or treatment group.}
#' \item{SD_outcome}{an array of the standard deviation per treatment group, for the observed outcomes and for the trimmed outcomes}
