Hi all, I have just uploaded the hbim package. This package does calculations related to the Hill/Bliss independence model as applied to mulitcomponent vaccines. Specifically, the package caculates expected relative risk and proportion protected assuming normally distributed log10 transformed antibody dose for a several component vaccine. It uses Hill models for each component which are combined under Bliss independence.
A description of the motivation for the package is published in: Saul A, Fay MP (2007). Human Immunity and the Design of Multi-Component, Single Target Vaccines. PLoS ONE 2(9): e850. doi:10.1371/jounal.pone.0000850 (Available at http://www.plosone.org/) Please let me know if you have any comments about or corrections for the package. Thanks, Mike ****************************************************************** Michael P.
