bayescount (version 0.9.9-1)
Power calculations and Bayesian analysis of count distributions
and FECRT data using MCMC
Description
A set of functions to allow analysis of count data (such
as faecal egg count data) using Bayesian MCMC methods. Returns
information on the possible values for mean count, coefficient
of variation and zero inflation (true prevalence) present in
the data. A complete faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT)
model is implemented, which returns inference on the true
efficacy of the drug from the pre and post treatment data
provided, using non-parametric bootstrapping as well as using
Bayesian MCMC. Functions to perform power analyses for faecal
egg counts (including FECRT) are also provided. Requires Just
Another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS) for most functions (except power
analysis calculations), see:
