beta_bias: Percent Bias of Estimated Coefficient
In eesim: Simulate and Evaluate Time Series for Environmental Epidemiology

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

This function returns the relative bias of the mean of the estimated coefficients.

1	beta_bias(df, true_rr)

`df`	A data frame of replicated simulations which must include a column titled "Estimate" with the effect estimate from the fitted model.
`true_rr`	The true relative risk used to simulate the data.

This function estimates the percent bias in the estimated log relative risk (b) as:

100 ((β - b) / β)

where b is the mean of the estimated log relative risk values from all simulations and β is the true log relative risk used to simulate the data.

A data frame with a single value: the percent bias of the mean of the estimated coefficients over n_reps simulations.
