mercury

Data from NHANES. Matrix 397 x 3. n=397 treated people who ate at least 15 servings of fish or shellfish during the previous month are matched to two controls who ate at most one serving of fish or shellfish. The values in mercury record the level of methylmercury in blood in mu-g/dl. Column 1 is treated, columns 2 and 3 are controls. Specifically, column 2 describes an individual who ate no fish or shellfish in the previous month, while column 3 describes an individual who ate exactly one serving of fish or shellfish. The data were used as an example in Rosenbaum (2014).

The package performs a sensitivity analysis in an observational study using an M-statistic, for instance, the mean. The main function in the package is senmv(), but amplify() and truncatedP() are also useful. The method is developed in Rosenbaum Biometrics, 2007, 63, 456-464, <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2006.00717.x>.
