## tidiers for case-cohort data

### Description

Tidiers for case-cohort analyses: summarize each estimated coefficient, or test the overall model.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'cch'
    tidy(x, conf.level = 0.95, ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'cch'
    glance(x, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a "cch" object
`conf.level` | confidence level for CI
`...` | extra arguments (not used)

### Details

It is not clear what an `augment` method would look like, so none is provided. Nor is there currently any way to extract the covariance or the residuals.

### Value

All tidying methods return a data.frame without rownames, whose structure depends on the method chosen.

`tidy` returns a data.frame with one row for each term

`term` | name of term
`estimate` | estimate of coefficient
`stderror` | standard error
`statistic` | Z statistic
`p.value` | p-value
`conf.low` | low end of confidence interval
`conf.high` | high end of confidence interval

`glance` returns a one-row data.frame with the following columns:

`score` | score
`rscore` | rscore
`p.value` | p-value from Wald test
`iter` | number of iterations
`n` | number of predictions
`nevent` | number of events
