BayesPostEst - Generate Postestimation Quantities for Bayesian MCMC Estimation

An implementation of functions to generate and plot postestimation quantities after estimating Bayesian regression models using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Functionality includes the estimation of the Precision-Recall curves (see Beger, 2016 <doi:10.2139/ssrn.2765419>), the implementation of the observed values method of calculating predicted probabilities by Hanmer and Kalkan (2013) <doi:10.1111/j.1540-5907.2012.00602.x>, the implementation of the average value method of calculating predicted probabilities (see King, Tomz, and Wittenberg, 2000 <doi:10.2307/2669316>), and the generation and plotting of first differences to summarize typical effects across covariates (see Long 1997, ISBN:9780803973749; King, Tomz, and Wittenberg, 2000 <doi:10.2307/2669316>). This package can be used with MCMC output generated by any Bayesian estimation tool including 'JAGS', 'BUGS', 'MCMCpack', and 'Stan'.

modeLLtest - Compare Models with Cross-Validated Log-Likelihood

An implementation of the cross-validated difference in means (CVDM) test by Desmarais and Harden (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11135-013-9884-7> (see also Harden and Desmarais, 2011 <doi:10.1177/1532440011408929>) and the cross-validated median fit (CVMF) test by Desmarais and Harden (2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpr042>. These tests use leave-one-out cross-validated log-likelihoods to assist in selecting among model estimations. You can also utilize data from Golder (2010) <doi:10.1177/0010414009341714> and Joshi & Mason (2008) <doi:10.1177/0022343308096155> that are included to facilitate examples from real-world analysis.

coxrobust - Fit Robustly Proportional Hazards Regression Model

An implementation of robust estimation in Cox model. Functionality includes fitting efficiently and robustly Cox proportional hazards regression model in its basic form, where explanatory variables are time independent with one event per subject. Method is based on a smooth modification of the partial likelihood.
