R help - Jan 2012 - 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

Anyone aware of a similar package in R?

 

Thanks

R has several packages for epidemiology. Maybe one of them has it. Take a
look.
To name just two:  "Epi" and "epitools"
