Description: The strength of evidence provided by epidemiological and observational
studies is inherently limited by the potential for unmeasured confounding.
We focus on three key quantities: the observed bound of the confidence interval
closest to the null, a plausible residual effect size for an unmeasured continuous
or binary confounder, and a realistic mean difference or prevalence difference for
this hypothetical confounder. Building on the methods put forth by
Lin, Psaty, & Kronmal (1998) <doi:10.2307/2533848>, we can use these quantities to
assess how an unmeasured confounder may tip our result to insignificance, rendering the
study inconclusive.
We focus on three key quantities: the observed bound of the confidence
interval closest to the null, the relationship between an unmeasured
confounder and the outcome, for example a plausible residual effect
size for an unmeasured continuous or binary confounder, and the
relationship between an unmeasured confounder and the exposure,
for example a realistic mean difference or prevalence difference
for this hypothetical confounder between exposure groups. Building
on the methods put forth by Cornfield et al. (1959), Bross (1966),
Schlesselman (1978), Rosenbaum & Rubin (1983), Lin et al. (1998),
Lash et al. (2009), Rosenbaum (1986), Cinelli & Hazlett (2020),
VanderWeele & Ding (2017), and Ding & VanderWeele (2016),

may tip our result to insignificance.<doi:10.21105/joss.04495>

* Fixed bug, functions based on the `adjust_coef_with_binary` function had the old parameter names (`exposed_p` and `unexposed_p`). These were changed to match the other new updates from version 1.0.0 to now be `exposed_confounder_prev` and `unexposed_confounder_prev`.
* Change "relative risk" to "risk ratio" in all documentation.
* Add new JOSS citation
