epicR: Lower tail FEV1 values to be corrected #23

Closed aminadibi closed 7 years ago

aminadibi commented 7 years ago

FEV1 values decline too much on the lower tail. Need to plateau them at a certain threshold.

aminadibi commented 7 years ago

@shahzadg Shahzad can you please let me know at what value should I plateau the low tail of FEV1. Was it 0.8? Is it the same number for everyone?

Thanks

RAND_TAIL_FEV1_t = sqrt(0.1845)*RandNormal()+ 0.827;

aminadibi commented 7 years ago

implemented in epicR as (*ag).fev1_tail.

Fixed in epicR v0.5.0
