Multi Calculator of different scores to measure adherence to Mediterranean Diet, to compute them in nutriepidemiological data. Additionally, a sample dataset of this kind of data is provided, and some other minor tools useful in epidemiological studies.

'MedDRA' data is used for defining adverse events in clinical studies. You
    can load and merge the data for use in categorizing the adverse events
    using this package. The package requires the data licensed from 'MedDRA'
    <https://www.meddra.org/>.

Two distinct but related statistical approaches to the problem of identifying the combinations of medication error characteristics that are more likely to result in harm are implemented in this package: 1) a Bayesian hierarchical model with optimal Bayesian ranking on the log odds of harm, and 2) an empirical Bayes model that estimates the ratio of the observed count of harm to the count that would be expected if error characteristics and harm were independent. In addition, for the Bayesian hierarchical model, the package provides functions to assess the sensitivity of results to different specifications of the random effects distributions.

In breeding experiments, mating environmental (ME) designs are very popular as mating designs are directly implemented in the field environment using block or row-column designs. Here, three functions are given related to three new methods which will generate mating diallel cross designs (Hinkelmann and Kempthorne, 1963<doi:10.2307/2333899>) or mating environmental (ME) designs along with design parameters, C matrix, eigenvalues (EVs), degree of fractionations (DF) and canonical efficiency factor (CEF). Another one function is added to check the properties of a given ME diallel cross design.

Function and support for medication and dosing information extraction from free-text clinical notes. Medication entities for the basic medExtractR implementation that can be extracted include drug name, strength, dose amount, dose, frequency, intake time, dose change, and time of last dose. The basic medExtractR is outlined in Weeks, Beck, McNeer, Williams, Bejan, Denny, Choi (2020) <doi: 10.1093/jamia/ocz207>. The extended medExtractR_tapering implementation is intended to extract dosing information for more tapering schedules, which are far more complex. The tapering extension allows for the extraction of additional entities including dispense amount, refills, dose schedule, time keyword, transition, and preposition.
