data(hvtn505)
dat <- load_data(time="HIVwk28preunblfu", event="HIVwk28preunbl", vacc="trt",
                 marker="IgG_V2", covariates=c("age","BMI","bhvrisk"),
                 weights="wt", ph2="casecontrol", data=hvtn505)
# \donttest{
ests_med <- est_med(
  dat = dat,
  type = "Cox",
  t_0 = 578,
  params_np = params_med_cox(edge_ind=TRUE)
)
