Dear R--Help,
My current research focuses upon sensitivity analyses which require [1]
clusterings of patients in a baseline-covariate X space and [2] examining
the distribution of within-cluster treatment differences in outcome. I
have some primitive R code for this, but I want to be able to interact
with graphical displays of within-cluster information (local average
treatment effects) to identify individual clusters and/or compare pairs of
clusters in terms for the X characteristics of their patients.
Is anybody currently working on developing this sort of point-and-click
capability in R? I would be very interested in becoming an alpha or beta
tester of this functionality.
If some computer scientist is looking for a thesis topic involving
applications of graphics and statistical methods in health care
(randomized or nonrandomized studies), I would be happy to send a recent
white paper on the methodology I visualize. On top of my work at Lilly, I
am an adjunct professor of biostatistics at Indiana University Medical
School and would be willing to participate on a thesis committee.
For example, I can perform almost all of the point-and-click operations I
am interested in from existing menu items in JMP version 5.1, but I have
not been able to develop usable JMP scripts to automate the basic
processes. ...BobO.
