We consider studies in which information from error-prone
diagnostic tests or self-reports are gathered sequentially to determine the
occurrence of a silent event. Using a likelihood-based approach
incorporating the proportional hazards assumption, we provide functions to
estimate the survival distribution and covariate effects. We also provide
functions for power and sample size calculations for this setting.

This is an R package for Study Design and Data Analysis in the Presence of Error-Prone Diagnostic Tests and Self-Reported Outcomes. Please refer to our Annals of Applied Statistics paper, Statistics in Medicine paper, and BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making paper for more details of proposed methods.
