Dear list members, A new package, called *prevalence *(version 0.1.0), is now available on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/package=prevalence This package provides Frequentist and Bayesian methods useful in prevalence assessment studies. More specifically, the following functions are currently available: * truePrev -- Bayesian estimation of True Prevalence from Apparent Prevalence obtained by testing /individual /samples * truePrevPools -- Bayesian estimation of True Prevalence from Apparent Prevalence obtained by testing /pooled /samples * propCI -- Calculate confidence intervals for a prevalence estimate * betaPERT -- Calculate the parameters of a Beta-PERT distribution * betaExpert -- Calculate the parameters of a Beta distribution based on expert opinion Function 'truePrev' is also implemented in an online Shiny app: http://users.ugent.be/~bdvleess/R/prevalence/shiny/ The development version is on GitHub: https://github.com/brechtdv/prevalence/ Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Brecht and coauthors.
