Facilitates Clustered Binary Data Generation, and Estimation of Intracluster Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for Binary Data

Assists in generating binary clustered data, estimates of Intracluster Correlation coefficient (ICC) for binary response in 16 different methods, and 5 different types of confidence intervals.

ICCbin

An R package facilitating clustered binary data generation, and estimation of Intracluster Correlation Coefficient for binary data

Functions

Data generation

• rcbin() — Generates correlated binary clustered data given an ICC, event proportion, number of clusters, cluster size, and percent variation in proportion and cluster size.
• rcbin_flex() — An enhanced alternative to rcbin() that uses a Beta distribution for cluster-specific event proportions and supports overdispersed cluster sizes via the Negative Binomial distribution. Unlike rcbin(), the prvar and csvar parameters represent actual variances rather than percentages.

ICC estimation

• iccbin() — Estimates ICC for binary clustered data using 16 methods and 5 types of confidence intervals.
