sensitivitymv-package: Sensitivity Analysis in Observational Studies

In sensitivitymv: Sensitivity Analysis in Observational Studies

Description

The package performs a sensitivity analysis in an observational study using an M-statistic, for instance, the mean. The main function in the package is senmv(), but amplify() and truncatedP() are also useful. The method is developed in Rosenbaum Biometrics, 2007, 63, 456-464, <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2006.00717.x>.
