Inverse regression model for radiation biodosimetry

Description

The package implements a new inverse regression model with applications to radiation biodosimetry.

The package implements a new inverse regression model with applications to radiation biodosimetry by means of the function dose.distr. It allows for several distributions for the dose prior including uniform and gamma, and for the mean prior, including gamma and normal distributions. A summary containing the most relevant information about the estimated doses can be obtained via summary and graphics can be obtained in a standard way by means of plot or lines functions.

Examples

f <- expression(b1*x+b2*x^2)
pars <- c("b1","b2")
beta <- c(3.126e-3, 2.537e-2)
cov  <- matrix(c(7.205e-06,-3.438e-06,-3.438e-06,2.718e-06),nrow=2)

ex1.a <- dose.distr(f, pars, beta, cov, cells=1811, dics=102, 
m.prior="normal", d.prior="uniform", prior.param=c(0, Inf))
summary(ex1.a)
