Dear list members,

A new package, called *prevalence *(version 0.1.0), is now available on 
CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/package=prevalence

This package provides Frequentist and Bayesian methods useful in 
prevalence assessment studies. More specifically, the following 
functions are currently available:

  * truePrev -- Bayesian estimation of True Prevalence from Apparent
    Prevalence obtained by testing /individual /samples
  * truePrevPools -- Bayesian estimation of True Prevalence from
    Apparent Prevalence obtained by testing /pooled /samples
  * propCI -- Calculate confidence intervals for a prevalence estimate
  * betaPERT -- Calculate the parameters of a Beta-PERT distribution
  * betaExpert -- Calculate the parameters of a Beta distribution based
    on expert opinion

Function 'truePrev' is also implemented in an online Shiny app:

The development version is on GitHub: 
https://github.com/brechtdv/prevalence/

Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,
Brecht and coauthors.
