coarseDataTools - Analysis of Coarsely Observed Data
Functions to analyze coarse data. Specifically, it
contains functions to (1) fit parametric accelerated failure
time models to interval-censored survival time data, and (2)
estimate the case-fatality ratio in scenarios with
under-reporting. This package's development was motivated by
applications to infectious disease: in particular, problems
with estimating the incubation period and the case fatality
ratio of a given disease. Sample data files are included in
the package. See Reich et al. (2009) <doi:10.1002/sim.3659>,
