mcmapper: Mapping First Moment and C-Statistic to the Parameters of
Distributions for Risk
Provides a series of numerical methods for extracting parameters of distributions for risks based on knowing the expected value and c-statistics (e.g., from a published report on the performance of a risk prediction model). This package implements the methodology described in Sadatsafavi et al (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2409.09178>. The core of the package is mcmap(), which takes a pair of (mean, c-statistic) and the distribution type requested. This function provides a generic interface to more customized functions (mcmap_beta(), mcmap_logitnorm(), mcmap_probitnorm()) for specific distributions.
