pifpaf: pifpaf: A package for estimating the Potential Impact...

Description

Description

Uses a generalized method to estimate the Potential Impact Fraction, (PIF) and the Population Attributable Fraction (PAF) from cross-sectional data. It creates point-estimates (pif, paf), confidence intervals (pif.confidence, paf.confidence),and estimates of variance. In addition it generates plots for conducting sensitivity analysis (pif.sensitivity, pif.heatmap, pif.plot). The estimation method corresponds to Zepeda-Tello, Camacho-Garc<c3><ad>a-Forment<c3><ad>, et al, 'Nonparametric Methods to Estimate the Potential Impact Fraction from Cross-sectional Data', Unpublished manuscript. 2017. This package was developed by the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico under funding by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Please see the package's vignette for more information: browseVignettes("pifpaf").
