simex-package {simex}R Documentation

Error or misclassification correction in models using (MC)SIMEX

Description

Package simex is an implementation of the SIMEX–algorithm by Cook and Stephanski and the MCSIMEX–Algorithm by Küchenhof, Mwalili and Lesaffre.

Details

Package: simex
Type: Package
Version: 1.4
Date: 2009-04-19
License: GPL 2 or above
LazyLoad: yes

The package includes first of all the implementation for the SIMEX– and MCSIMEX–Algorithms. Jackknife and asymptotic variance estimation are implemented. Various methods and analytic tools are provided for a simple and fast access to the SIMEX– and MCSIMEX–Algorithm.

Functions simex() and mcsimex() can be used on models issued from lm(), glm() with asymtotic estimation. Models from nls(), gam() (package mgcv), lme() and nlme() (package nlme) can also be corrected with these algorithms, but without asymptotic estimations.
