Subject: [R-sig-Epi] Epidemiology Task View?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would find having a Task View (see
http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/ ) for Epidemiology
desireable or useful?
I currently co-maintain the Genetics Task View and would be
happy to have a go at writing one for Epidemiology having
recently shifted the focus of my employment away from Genetic
Epidemiology to more "standard" epidemiological work.
The following packages are ones that I've identified from the
packages list...
Epi
epiR
epibasic
epicalc
epitools
Other related packages
bayesSurv (for survival analysis)
CPE (for survival analysis)
and I'd probably aim to classify into sub-sections...
Case-Control
Cohort
Incidence/Mortality
Survival
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts/input on this as to
a) Packages to include
b) Suggested sub-categories
Regards
Neil
