#' Change-in-Estimate Approach to Assess Confounding Effects
#'
#' In clinical trials and epidemiological studies, the association
#' between an exposure and the outcome of interest in a study can be estimated by
#' \emph{regression coefficients}, \emph{odds ratios} or \emph{hazard ratios} depending
#' on the nature of study designs and outcome measurements. We use a general term
#' \emph{effect estimate} here for any of those measurements in this document.
#' Based on those measurements,
#' we determine if a treatment is effective (or detrimental) or a factor is a risk factor.
#' Imbalanced distributions of other factors could bias the effect estimates, called
#' \emph{confounding}. One way to assess the
#' confounding effect of a factor is to examine the difference in effect
#' estimates between models with and without a specific factor. \code{'chest'} allows
#' users quickly calculate the changes when potential confounding factors
#' are sequentially added to the model in a stepwise fashion. At each step, one
#' variable which creates the largest change (\%) of the effect estimate among the remaining
#' variables is added to the model. \code{'chest'} returns a graph and a data frame (table) with
#' effect estimates (95\% CI) and change (\%) values. The package currently has the following main
#' functions: \code{'chest_lm'} for linear regression, \code{'chest_glm'} for logistic
#' regression and Poisson regression, \code{'chest_clogit'} for matched logistic
#' regression, \code{'chest_nb'} for negative binomial regression and \code{'chest_cox'} for
#' Cox proportional hazards models.
