acc_dg1

Perform PVB correction by Begg and Greenes' method 1 as described in deGroot et al (2011),
 in which it also includes PPV and NPV calculation.

Performs partial verification bias (PVB) correction for binary
diagnostic tests, where PVB arises from selective patient verification in
diagnostic accuracy studies. Supports correction of important accuracy
measures -- sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values and
negative predictive value -- under missing-at-random and
missing-not-at-random missing data mechanisms. Available methods and
