Package: benchexcal Type: Package Title: Benchmark, Expand, and Calibrate (BenchExCal) Trial Emulation Tools Version: 0.1.0 Authors@R: c( person("Xiangzhong", "Xue", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "your_email@example.com", comment = "Postdoctoral fellow, BWH/HMS")) Description: Lightweight tools for evaluating real-world evidence (RWE) studies that emulate randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Provides (1) computation of the three pre-specified RCT-DUPLICATE / ENCORE agreement metrics -- statistical significance agreement (SA), estimate agreement (EA), and standardized difference agreement (SD) -- and (2) the Benchmark, Expand, and Calibrate (BenchExCal) calibration of a Stage 2 RWE study using the divergence observed in a Stage 1 RCT-RWE pair, plus tipping-point sensitivity analysis and forest plots.
