gconsensus - Consensus Value Constructor
An implementation of the generalized consensus estimators
used to assign the reference value in a key comparison
exercise. This can also be applied to any interlaboratory
study. Given a set of different sources, primary laboratories
or measurement methods this package provides an evaluation of
the variance components according to the selected statistical
method for consensus building. It also implements the
comparison among different consensus builders and evaluates the
participating method or sources against the consensus reference
value. Based on a diverse set of references, DerSimonian-Laird
(1986) <doi:10.1016/0197-2456(86)90046-2>, for a complete list
of references look at the reference section in the package
documentation.
