Dear list members, A new package, called *prevalence *(version 0.1.0), is now available on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/package=prevalence This package provides Frequentist and Bayesian methods useful in prevalence assessment studies. More specifically, the following functions are currently available: * truePrev -- Bayesian estimation of True Prevalence from Apparent Prevalence obtained by testing /individual /samples * truePrevPools -- Bayesian estimation of True Prevalence from Apparent Prevalence obtained by testing /pooled /samples * propCI -- Calculate confidence intervals for a prevalence estimate * betaPERT -- Calculate the parameters of a Beta-PERT distribution * betaExpert -- Calculate the parameters of a Beta distribution based on expert opinion Function ''truePrev'' is also implemented in an online Shiny app: http://users.ugent.be/~bdvleess/R/prevalence/shiny/ The development version is on GitHub: https://github.com/brechtdv/prevalence/ Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Brecht and coauthors. -- Devleesschauwer Brecht Doctoral Researcher, MVSc DVM Department of Virology, Parasitology and Immunology Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Ghent University Salisburylaan 133 9820 Merelbeke Belgium Telephone: +32 9 264 7328 Mobile (Belgium): +32 476 365743 Mobile (Nepal): +977 9842 223323 E-mail:brecht.devleesschauwer@ugent.be http://users.ugent.be/~bdvleess/ [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
