Functions to Score Commonly-Used Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO)
Measures and Other Psychometric Instruments
person("Ray", "Baser", email="ray.stats@gmail.com", role=c("aut", "cre"))
An extensible repository of accurate, up-to-date functions to score
commonly used patient-reported outcome (PRO), quality of life (QOL), and
other psychometric and psychological measures.  'PROscorer', together with
the 'PROscorerTools' package, is a system to facilitate the incorporation of
PRO measures into research studies and clinical settings in a scientifically
rigorous and reproducible manner.  These packages and their vignettes are
intended to help establish and promote "best practices" to improve the
planning, scoring, and reporting of PRO-like measures in research.
The 'PROscorer' "Instrument Descriptions" vignette contains descriptions of
each instrument scored by 'PROscorer', complete with references.  These
instrument descriptions are suitable for inclusion in formal study protocol
documents, grant proposals, and manuscript Method sections.  Each
'PROscorer' function is composed of helper functions from the
'PROscorerTools' package, and users are encouraged to contribute new
functions to 'PROscorer'.  More scoring functions are currently in
development and will be added in future updates.
