riskdiff: Robust Risk Difference Estimation with Multiple Link Functions
Calculates risk differences (or prevalence differences for
cross-sectional data) using generalized linear models with automatic
link function selection. Provides robust model fitting with fallback
methods, support for stratification and adjustment variables, and
publication-ready output formatting. Handles model convergence issues
gracefully and provides confidence intervals using multiple approaches.
Methods are based on approaches described in Mark W. Donoghoe and
Ian C. Marschner (2018) "logbin: An R Package for Relative Risk
Regression Using the Log-Binomial Model" <doi:10.18637/jss.v086.i09>
for robust GLM fitting, and standard epidemiological methods for risk
difference estimation as described in Kenneth J. Rothman, Sander
Greenland and Timothy L. Lash (2008, ISBN:9780781755641) "Modern
Epidemiology".
