R packages - Sep 2007 - New package: hbim - Hill/Bliss Independence Model for Multicomponent Vaccines

Hi all,

I have just uploaded the hbim package. This package does calculations related to
the Hill/Bliss independence model as applied to mulitcomponent vaccines.
Specifically, the package caculates expected relative risk and proportion
protected assuming normally distributed log10 transformed antibody dose for a
several component vaccine. It uses Hill models for each component which are
combined under Bliss independence.

A description of the motivation for the package is published in:

Saul A, Fay MP (2007). Human Immunity and the Design of Multi-Component, Single
Target Vaccines. PLoS ONE 2(9): e850. doi:10.1371/jounal.pone.0000850 (Available
at http://www.plosone.org/)

Please let me know if you have any comments about or corrections for the
package.
 
Thanks, 

Mike
