mcmcpack.ll

posterior log likelihood function to pass to MCMCpack sampler

Functions to analyze coarse data.
Specifically, it contains functions to (1) fit parametric accelerated
failure time models to interval-censored survival time data, and (2)
estimate the case-fatality ratio in scenarios with under-reporting.
This package's development was motivated by applications to infectious
disease: in particular, problems with estimating the incubation period and
the case fatality ratio of a given disease. Sample data files are included
in the package. See Reich et al. (2009) <doi:10.1002/sim.3659>,
