August 18, 2017 Type Package Title Evaluation of Surrogate Endpoints in Clinical Trials Version 0.4 Date 2017-08-18 Author Wim Van der Elst, Paul Meyvisch, Ariel Alonso, Hannah M. Ensor, Christopher J. Weir & Geert Molenberghs Maintainer Wim Van der Elst Description In a clinical trial, it frequently occurs that the most credible outcome to evaluate the effectiveness of a new therapy (the true endpoint) is difficult to measure. In such a situation, it can be an effective strategy to replace the true endpoint by a (bio)marker that is easier to measure and that allows for a prediction of the treatment effect on the true endpoint (a surrogate endpoint). The package 'Surrogate' allows for an evaluation of the appropriateness of a candidate surrogate endpoint based on the meta-analytic, informationtheoretic, and causal-inference frameworks. Part of this software has been developed using funding provided from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under Grant Agreement no 602552.

An Introduction to Principal Surrogate Evaluation with the pseval Package.
We describe a new package called pseval that implements the core methods for the evaluation of principal surrogates in a single clinical trial. It provides a flexible interface for defining models for the risk given treatment and the surrogate, the models for integration over the missing counterfactual surrogate responses, and the estimation methods. Estimated maximum likelihood and pseudo-scor...

The subselect package addresses the issue of variable selection in different statistical contexts, among which exploratory data analyses; univariate or multivariate linear models; generalized linear models; principal components analysis; linear discriminant analysis, canonical correlation analysis. Selecting variable subsets requires the definition of a numerical criterion which measures the qu...
متن کاملDevelopment of a General Package for Resolution of Uncertainty-Related Issues in Reservoir Engineering
Reservoir simulations always involve a large number of parameters to characterize the properties of formation and fluid, many of which are subject to uncertainties owing to spatial heterogeneity and insufficient measurements. To provide solutions to uncertainty-related issues in reservoir simulations, a general package called GenPack has been developed. GenPack includes three main functions req...
متن کاملrich: An R Package to Analyse Species Richness
The paper describes rich, a new R package to perform species richness estimation and comparison. Species richness is the simplest surrogate for the more complex concept of species biodiversity. It is relatively easy to assess although estimations strongly depend on sampling intensity with the consequence that richness estimations should be standardized to perform valid comparisons. The R packag...
