Hi All, Version 1.0.0 of the new BI package is now on CRAN.
The BI package will generate the James Blinding Index, as described in James et al (1996, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8841652/) and the Bang Blinding Index, as described in Bang et al (2004, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15020033/).
These are measures to assess whether or not satisfactory blinding has been maintained in a randomized, controlled, clinical trial. These can be generated for trial subjects, research coordinators and principal investigators, based upon standardized questionnaires that have been administered, to assess whether or not they can correctly guess to which treatment arm (e.g. placebo or treatment) subjects were assigned at randomization.
The package is available from: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=BI and is maintained on Github: https://github.com/marcschwartz/BI Warm regards, Marc Schwartz _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list r-packa...@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
