ameras

The goal of ameras is to provide a user-friendly interface to analyze association studies with multiple replicates of a noisy exposure using a variety of methods. ameras supports continuous, count, binary, multinomial, and right-censored time-to-event outcomes. For binary outcomes, the nested case-control design is also accommodated. Besides the common exponential relative risk model \(RR=\exp(\beta D)\) for the exposure-outcome association with noisy exposure \(D\), linear excess relative risk \(RR=1+\beta D\) and linear-exponential excess relative risk models \(RR=1+\beta_1 D \exp(\beta_2 D)\) can be used.

Installation

To install from CRAN:

# install.packages("ameras")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to fit a simple logistic regression model:
