bootComb - An R Package to Derive Confidence Intervals for Combinations of Independent Parameter Estimates

2020-12-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Motivation</h4> The epidemiologist sometimes needs to combine several independent parameter estimates: e.g. (i) adjust an incidence rate for healthcare utilisation, (ii) derive a disease prevalence from the conditional prevalence on another condition and the prevalence of that condition, (iii) adjust a seroprevalence for test sensitivity and specificity. While obtaining the combined parameter estimate is usual...
