Applied Examples

This section provides illustrative applications of the estimators provided in delicatessen. These examples include replication of examples from textbooks, published scientific articles, and custom examples. Both built-in estimating equations and use of user-built estimating equations are illustrated. These examples are somewhat organized by the topics being covered. Example applications include biomedical research, econometrics, sociology, cheminformatics, and astrostatistics. If there are applications you would like to see added to this documentations, please contact us.
