R Packages
- "Bayesian continuous reassessment method (CRM) designs for Phase I dose-finding trials"
Michael SweetingThis package implements a wide variety of one and two-parameter Bayesian CRM designs. The program can run interactively, allowing the user to enter outcomes after each cohort has been recruited, or via simulation to assess operating characteristics.
- "Individual patient data meta-analysis of time-to-event outcomes: one-stage versus two-stage approaches to estimating the hazard ratio under a random effects model."
J. Bowden, J. Tierney, M. Simmonds, A.J. Copas and J.P.T. Higgins. Research Synthesis Methods 2011. - "Likelihood Estimation for a Longitudinal Negative Binomial Regression Model with Missing Outcomes."
Bond, SJ and Farewell VT When the mreg package is loaded the command 'help(package=mreg)' will indicate that a data set called 'radiology' is provided. This has been replaced with a data set called 'public'. Any references in the documentation to 'radiology' should be replaced with 'public'.
- "A random effect variance shift model for detecting outliers in meta-analysis."
Gumedze, F and Jackson, D. September 2010
- "Modelling multiple sources of dissemination bias in meta-analysis.

See C. H. Jackson. Multi-State Models for Panel Data: The msm Package for R. Journal of Statistical Software, 2010. In press Functions for fitting general continuous-time Markov and hidden Markov multi-state models to longitudinal data. Both Markov transition rates and the hidden Markov output process can be modelled in terms of covariates. A variety of observation schemes are supported, including processes observed at arbitrary times, completely-observed processes, and censored states. - "Density strips and other methods for compactly illustrating distributions."
