PVBcorrect (Q7382965)

Performs partial verification bias (PVB) correction for binary diagnostic tests, where PVB arises from selective patient verification in diagnostic accuracy studies. Supports correction of important accuracy measures – sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values and negative predictive value – under missing-at-random and missing-not-at-random missing data mechanisms.
