evidenceFactors (version 1.8)
Reporting Tools for Sensitivity Analysis of Evidence Factors in
Observational Studies
Description
Provides tools for integrated sensitivity analysis of evidence factors in observational
studies. When an observational study allows for multiple independent or nearly
independent inferences which, if vulnerable, are vulnerable to different biases, we have
multiple evidence factors. This package provides methods that respect type I error rate control.
Examples are provided of integrated evidence factors analysis in a longitudinal study with
continuous outcome and in a case-control study.
