Monte Carlo Hypothesis Tests with Sequential Stopping

Performs Monte Carlo hypothesis tests, allowing a couple of different sequential stopping boundaries. For example, a truncated sequential probability ratio test boundary (Fay, Kim and Hachey, 2007 ) and a boundary proposed by Besag and Clifford, 1991 . Gives valid p-values and confidence intervals on p-values.

Beta Product Confidence Procedure for Right Censored Data

Calculates nonparametric pointwise confidence intervals for the survival distribution for right censored data, and for medians [Fay and Brittain ]. Has two-sample tests for dissimilarity (e.g., difference, ratio or odds ratio) in survival at a fixed time, and differences in medians [Fay, Proschan, and Brittain ]. Basically, the package gives exact inference methods for one- and two-sample exact inferences for Kaplan-Meier curves (e.g., generalizing Fisher's exact test to allow for right censoring), which are especially important for latter parts of the survival curve, small sample sizes or heavily censored data. Includes mid-p options.

Ordered Composite Endpoints with Censoring

Estimates win ratio or Mann-Whitney parameter for two group comparisons using ordered composite endpoints with right censoring as described in Follmann, Fay, Hamasaki, and Evans (2020).

Import Professional Baseball Data from 'Retrosheet'

A collection of tools to import and structure the (currently) single-season event, game-log, roster, and schedule data available from < https://www.retrosheet.org>. In particular, the event (a.k.a. play-by-play) files can be especially difficult to parse. This package does the parsing on those files, returning the requested data in the most practical R structure to use for sabermetric or other analyses.

Small Area Estimation: Time-Series Models

Time series area-level models for small area estimation. The package supplements the functionality of the sae package. Specifically, it includes EBLUP fitting of the Rao-Yu model in the original form without a spatial component. The package also offers a modified ("dynamic") version of the Rao-Yu model, replacing the assumption of stationarity. Both univariate and multivariate applications are supported. Of particular note is the allowance for covariance of the area-level sample estimates over time, as encountered in rotating panel designs such as the U.S. National Crime Victimization Survey or present in a time-series of 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey. Key references to the methods include J.N.K. Rao and I. Molina (2015, ISBN:9781118735787), J.N.K. Rao and M. Yu (1994) , and R.E. Fay and R.A. Herriot (1979) .
