ExampleDataLinear

A simulated data set containing 7901 observations, 5 continuous covariates and 100 providers.

datasets

Implements linear and generalized linear models for provider profiling,
incorporating both fixed and random effects. For large-scale providers, the linear
profiled-based method and the SerBIN method for binary data
reduce the computational burden. Provides post-modeling features, such as
indirect and direct standardization measures, hypothesis testing,
confidence intervals, and post-estimation visualization.

ExampleDataLinear function

A list containing the following elements:<dl>
<dt>Y</dt>
<dd>a vector representing continuous outcomes.
Generated as a linear combination of provider-specific effects, covariates, and a random error term (\(\epsilon\)),
where \(\epsilon\) follows a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.</dd><dt>ProvID</dt>
<dd>a vector representing identifier for each provider.
The number of individuals per provider is generated from a Poisson distribution with mean 80.</dd><dt>Z</dt>
<dd>a data frame containing 5 continuous variables.
Generated from a multivariate normal distribution, where the mean is calculated as
\((\gamma_i - \mu_{\gamma}) \cdot \rho / \sigma_{\gamma}\) with \(\mu_{\gamma} = \log(4/11)\) and \(\sigma_{\gamma} = 0.4\),
and the correlation between covariates and provider effects is 0.1.</dd>
