[R] Sensitivity analysis - looking a tool for epidemiologic research
Stata users can rely on the very neat Episens package for sensitivity analysis. Briefly, it allows one to specify a diagnostic tool's sensitivity and specificity and take those into account when estimating a risk ratio, for instance. A full description of the package is available at <http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=st0138> http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=st0138 Anyone aware of a similar package in R? Thanks DC [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
