  <dc:title>Partial Verification Bias Correction for Diagnostic Accuracy</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package PVBcorrect version 0.3.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>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. Available methods and 
    references are "Begg and Greenes' methods" in Alonzo &amp; Pepe (2005)
