The main function generateDataset() processes a user-supplied .R file that contains metadata parameters in order to generate actual data. The metadata parameters have to be structured in the form of metadata objects, the format of which is outlined in the package vignette. This approach allows to generate artificial data in a transparent and reproducible manner.

Under- and over-dispersed binary data are modeled using an extended Poisson process model (EPPM) appropriate for binary data. A feature of the model is that the under-dispersion relative to the binomial distribution only needs to be greater than zero, but the over-dispersion is restricted compared to other distributional models such as the beta and correlated binomials. Because of this, the examples focus on under-dispersed data and how, in combination with the beta or correlated distributions, flexible models can be fitted to data displaying both under- and over-dispersion. Using Generalized Linear Model (GLM) terminology, the functions utilize linear predictors for the probability of success and scale-factor with various link functions for p, and log link for scale-factor, to fit a variety of models relevant to areas such as bioassay. Details of the EPPM are in Faddy and Smith (2012) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201100214> and Smith and Faddy (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v090.i08>.

This package provides methods for estimating the area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) and its standard error in the presence of Below the Limit of Quantification (BLOQ) observations. Two approaches are implemented: direct estimation using censored maximum likelihood, and a two-step approach that first imputes BLOQ values using various methods and then computes the AUC using the imputed data. Technical details are described in Barnett et al. (2020), "Methods for Non-Compartmental Pharmacokinetic Analysis With Observations Below the Limit of Quantification," Statistics in Biopharmaceutical Research. <doi:10.1080/19466315.2019.1701546>.

This package implements Bayesian dynamic factor analysis with Stan'. Dynamic factor analysis is a dimension reduction tool for multivariate time series. bayesdfa extends conventional dynamic factor models in several ways. First, extreme events may be estimated in the latent trend by modeling process error with a student-t distribution. Second, alternative constraints (including proportions are allowed). Third, the estimated dynamic factors can be analyzed with hidden Markov models to evaluate support for latent regimes.
