PVBcorrect

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.
