<p>Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimates of hospital length of stay from the hosprog data frame</p>

datasets

Conducts analyses for healthcare program evaluations or intervention
studies. Calculates regression analyses for standard ordinary least squares
(OLS or linear) or logistic models. Performs regression models used for
causal modeling such as differences-in-differences (DID) and interrupted
time series (ITS) models. Provides limited interpretations of model
results and a ranking of variable importance in models. Performs
propensity score models, top-coding of model outcome variables, and
can return new data with the newly formed variables. Conducts Bayesian
analysis summaries and graphs, decision curve analysis, and produces some
Shewhart control charts. Also performs Cronbach's  alpha for various scale
items (e.g., survey questions). See Github URL for examples in the README
file. For more details on the statistical methods, see
