confounders.limit

Function to elicit the limits on measures of effect corrected for an unmeasured
confounder when only some of the bias parameters are known. Crude relative
risk between exposure and outcome has minimally to be provided. Up to 3 other
parameters can be entered.

Basic sensitivity analysis of the observed relative risks
adjusting for unmeasured confounding and misclassification of the
exposure/outcome, or both. It follows the bias analysis methods and
examples from the book by Fox M.P., MacLehose R.F., and Lash T.L. "Applying
Quantitative Bias Analysis to Epidemiologic Data, second ed.", ('Springer', 2021).
