PVBcorrect: A package to perform partial verification bias correction for estimates of accuracy measures in diagnostic accuracy studies
Description
The package contains a number of functions to perform partial verification bias (PVB) correction for estimates of accuracy measures in diagnostic accuracy studies. The available methods are: Begg and Greenes' method (as extended by Alonzo & Pepe, 2005), Begg and Greenes' method 1 and 2 (with PPV and NPV as extended by deGroot et al, 2011), Inverse Probability Bootstrap (IPB) sampling method (Arifin & Yusof, 2022; Nahorniak et al., 2015), Scaled Inverse Probability Resampling methods (Arifin & Yusof, 2023; Arifin & Yusof, 2025), multiple imputation method by logistic regression (Harel & Zhou, 2006), and EM-based logistic regression method (Kosinski & Barnhart, 2003).
