eBayes Empirical Bayes Estimates of Relative Risk
EBpostdens Produce plots of emprical Bayes posterior densities when the data Y are Poisson with expected number E and relative risk theta, with the latter having a gamma distribution with known values alpha and beta, which are estimated using empirical Bayes.
EBpostthresh Produce the probabilities of exceeding a threshold given a posterior gamma distribution.
