Description

Feature description

Currently s_coxph_pairwise() only returns summary statistics from the model fitting, is it possible to also return the model fitting object sum_cox (https://github.com/insightsengineering/tern/blob/main/R/survival_coxph_pairwise.R#L102)? This applies to other statistical modeling functions as well. It would be nice to access this model fitting object from the final rtables TableTree object so that users could access other statistical information other than just the HR, CI, p-values etc.

Research direction

Start in R/survival_coxph_pairwise.R around line 102, where s_coxph_pairwise() creates the sum_cox model fitting object. Trace how the result reaches the final rtables TableTree object and compare the requested access with the current summary statistics. Done means users can retrieve the fitting object alongside the existing outputs, with the approach considered for other statistical modeling functions.
