bin_var

Create an object of class <code>SimVarBin</code> to hold proportions of binary
variables specified in a simulation study.

Bayesian dynamic borrowing is an approach to incorporating external
data to supplement a randomized, controlled trial analysis in which
external data are incorporated in a dynamic way (e.g., based on similarity
of outcomes); see Viele 2013 <doi:10.1002/pst.1589> for an overview.
This package implements the hierarchical commensurate prior approach to dynamic borrowing
as described in Hobbes 2011 <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01564.x>.
There are three main functionalities. First, 'psborrow2' provides a user-friendly
interface for applying dynamic borrowing on the study results handles the Markov Chain
Monte Carlo sampling on behalf of the user. Second, 'psborrow2' provides a
simulation framework to compare different borrowing parameters (e.g. full borrowing, no
borrowing, dynamic borrowing) and other trial and borrowing characteristics
(e.g. sample size, covariates) in a unified way. Third, 'psborrow2' provides
a set of functions to generate data for simulation studies, and also allows
the user to specify their own data generation process. This package is designed to
use the sampling functions from 'cmdstanr' which can be installed from
<https://stan-dev.r-universe.dev>.
