[R-pkgs] New CRAN Package: BI - Generate James (1996) and Bang (2004) Blinding Indexes

[Marc Schwartz]

Hi All,

Version 1.0.0 of the new BI package is now on CRAN.

The BI package will generate the James Blinding Index, as described in 
James et al (1996, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8841652/) and the 
Bang Blinding Index, as described in Bang et al (2004, 
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15020033/).

These are measures to assess whether or not satisfactory blinding has 
been maintained in a randomized, controlled, clinical trial. These can 
be generated for trial subjects, research coordinators and principal 
investigators, based upon standardized questionnaires that have been 
administered, to assess whether or not they can correctly guess to which 
treatment arm (e.g. placebo or treatment) subjects were assigned at 
randomization.


The package is available from:

   https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=BI

and is maintained on Github:

Warm regards,

Marc Schwartz
