I've been working on this for quite some time (see here for a little background), so I'm pleased that it looks close to done at least as far as the core algorithm. It uses global variables for now, and I'm sure there are a couple of other bugs lurking, but here it is, after the jump.
const.sqrt2pi <-...In order to move some of my personal interests along, I have been trying to implement the methodology found in Berry and Berry's article Accounting for Multiplicities in Assessing Drug Safety. This methodology uses the MedDRA hierarchy to improve the p...
I've been following the discussion on causal inference over at Gelman's blog with quite a bit of interest. Of course, this is in response to Judea Pearl's latest book on causal inference, which differs quite a bit from the theory that had been forwarde...
Last time I used an HTML solution. This time, I create an RTF file:
# function: my.rtf.table
# purpose: convert a matrix, data.frame, or array into a rtf table
# output: text for RTF, possibly written to a file
# inputs:
# tab - a table, dataframe, or array (needs rownames and colnames)
# outfile - name of file (or console if NULL,...
As I use R more in consulting, I'm finding the need to make the quick transition from R to Microsoft products (usually Word) more serious. (I'm using a Windows platform, but I'm sure the challenges on the Mac would be similar.) I simply don't have time to do the text manipulations necessary to convert text to Word tables, for...
Jim Albert has a blog based on his book Bayesian Computation in R. Unfortunately, it seems they haven't been updating it too much recently but it looks like what's there is pretty good.
RKN over at Epidemiology blog had a small problem he solved using simulation:I have been interested in the following question: if there are, let's say, 5 genes involved in the liability of fx risk, and each gene has two alleles with one of them conferr...
When I first read Andrew Gelman's quick off-the-cuff review of the book Bayesian Computation with R, I thought it was a bit harsh. So did Gelman.I thumbed through the book at the joint statistical meetings, and decided to buy it along with Bayesian Cor...
From time to time, I'll complain about the weirdness of SAS, the statistical analysis program of choice for much of the pharmaceutical industry. This post is one such complaint.Why, oh why, does SAS not directly give us the asymptotic variance of the M...
