multibias 1.7.2

CRAN release: 2025-06-15

  • Added multibias_plot() to visualize sensitivity analysis results
  • When using validation data in multibias_adjust() the function now incorporates uncertainty of the effect estimates from the validation data by sampling from each estimate’s mean and SE. Now, when using validation data, the confidence intervals from multibias bootstrapped results will represent two sources of uncertainty: random error and systematic error.
  • Added FAQ documentation

multibias 1.7.1

CRAN release: 2025-05-10

  • Updated code with dynamic formula construction so that there is no limit to the number of known confounders one can include when using bias_params as an input for multibias_adjust()
  • multibias_adjust() now has built in bootstrapping
  • Added summary() method to data_observed

multibias 1.7

CRAN release: 2025-04-08

  • Created bias_params class to handle bias parameter inputs to multibias_adjust()
  • Replaced the various adjust() functions with a single multibias_adjust() function. Users now specify the biases they want to adjust for in the data_observed object. Bias adjustment formulas are now found in the bias_params documentation.
  • The user now specifies biases for adjustment in the bias input of data_observed
  • Removed evans data; now only used in vignette
