PVBcorrect: Partial Verification Bias Correction for Diagnostic Accuracy

Performs partial verification bias (PVB) correction for binary diagnostic tests, where PVB arises from selective patient verification in diagnostic accuracy studies. Supports correction of important accuracy measures – sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values and negative predictive value – under missing-at-random and missing-not-at-random missing data mechanisms.
