JointRegBC (version 0.1.1)

JointRegBC-package: Joint Modelling of Mixed Correlated Binary and Continuous Responses : A Latent Variable Approach.

Description

A joint regression model for mixed correlated binary and continuous responses is presented. In this model binary response can be dependent on the continuous response. With this model, the dependence between responses can be taken into account by the correlation between errors in the models for binary and continuous responses.
