qgcomp - Quantile G-Computation

G-computation for a set of time-fixed exposures with quantile-based basis functions, possibly under linearity and homogeneity assumptions. This approach estimates a regression line corresponding to the expected change in the outcome (on the link basis) given a simultaneous increase in the quantile-based category for all exposures. Works with continuous, binary, and right-censored time-to-event outcomes. Reference: Alexander P. Keil, Jessie P. Buckley, Katie M. OBrien, Kelly K. Ferguson, Shanshan Zhao, and Alexandra J. White (2019) A quantile-based g-computation approach to addressing the effects of exposure mixtures; <doi:10.1289/EHP5838>.

qgcompint - Quantile G-Computation Extensions for Effect Measure Modification

G-computation for a set of time-fixed exposures with quantile-based basis functions, possibly under linearity and homogeneity assumptions. Effect measure modification in this method is a way to assess how the effect of the mixture varies by a binary, categorical or continuous variable. Reference: Alexander P. Keil, Jessie P. Buckley, Katie M. OBrien, Kelly K. Ferguson, Shanshan Zhao, and Alexandra J. White (2019) A quantile-based g-computation approach to addressing the effects of exposure mixtures; <doi:10.1289/EHP5838>.

bkmrhat - Parallel Chain Tools for Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression

Bayesian kernel machine regression (from the 'bkmr' package) is a Bayesian semi-parametric generalized linear model approach under identity and probit links. There are a number of functions in this package that extend Bayesian kernel machine regression fits to allow multiple-chain inference and diagnostics, which leverage functions from the 'future', 'rstan', and 'coda' packages. Reference: Bobb, J. F., Henn, B. C., Valeri, L., & Coull, B. A. (2018). Statistical software for analyzing the health effects of multiple concurrent exposures via Bayesian kernel machine regression. ; <doi:10.1186/s12940-018-0413-y>.

metropolis - The Metropolis Algorithm

Learning and using the Metropolis algorithm for Bayesian fitting of a generalized linear model. The package vignette includes examples of hand-coding a logistic model using several variants of the Metropolis algorithm. The package also contains R functions for simulating posterior distributions of Bayesian generalized linear model parameters using guided, adaptive, guided-adaptive and random walk Metropolis algorithms. The random walk Metropolis algorithm was originally described in Metropolis et al (1953); <doi:10.1063/1.1699114>.
