PhViD-package: PhViD: an R package for PharmacoVigilance signal Detection
In PhViD: PharmacoVigilance Signal Detection

The PhViD-package proposes the main pharmacovigilance signal detection methods extended to the multiple comparison setting. For the frequentist methods, the package requires the LBE procedure that is stored in the Bioconductor website http://bioconductor.org/. LBE can be installed by entering
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("LBE")
in the R console.
