investr: An R Package for Inverse Estimation
Inverse estimation is a classical and well-known problem in regression. In simple terms, it involves the use of an observed value of the response to make inference on the corresponding unknown value of the explanatory variable. To our knowledge, however, statistical software is somewhat lacking the capabilities for analyzing these types of problems. In this paper, we introduce investr (which st...
متن کاملmsSurv, an R Package for Nonparametric Estimation of Multistate Models
We present an R package, msSurv, to calculate the marginal (that is, not conditional on any covariates) state occupation probabilities, the state entry and exit time distributions, and the marginal integrated transition hazard for a general, possibly non-Markov, multistate system under left-truncation and right censoring. For a Markov model, msSurv also calculates and returns the transition pro...
متن کاملsae: An R Package for Small Area Estimation
Abstract We describe the R package sae for small area estimation. This package can be used to obtain model-based estimates for small areas based on a variety of models at the area and unit levels, along with basic direct and indirect estimates. Mean squared errors are estimated by analytical approximations in simple models and applying bootstrap procedures in more complex models. We describe th...
متن کاملImproving Benchmark Dose Estimation for Sodium Reduction
A recent series of experiments aimed to determine the amount salt can be reduced in food products without losing too much of their original taste; this is called the benchmark dose. In this study, a logistic model was used, however, it did not to include some features of the experiment and also used the data in an inefficient way. To improve the model, we borrowed the idea of risk assessment fr...
متن کاملBenchmark Dose Estimation Using SAS®
Toxicologically-based quantitative risk assessment is concerned with estimating human risks based upon experimental data linking an environmental agent to a known outcome (tumor incidence, acute toxicity, etc.). For dichotomous outcomes dose-response curves are modeled as complex functions of dose which often require specialized software to estimate. The SAS procedure NLMIXED readily allows for...
