modweiss: Modified Weiss Flu Strain Vaccine Dataset

In jwolfson/cesens: Sensitivity Analysis For Causal Effect Estimation

Description

Titer results from a 1945 flu vaccine efficacy study were modified for use as a demonstration of this tool. Continuous antibody response values were generated from the originally discrete data as log2(R) + rnorm(1,sd=0.5), i.e., by adding random noise to the base-2 log of the categorical response level. This file contains the results for the Weiss strain of the flu.
