abstract: Conducts analyses for healthcare program evaluations or intervention studies.
  Calculates regression analyses for standard ordinary least squares (OLS or linear)
  or logistic models. Performs regression models used for causal modeling such as
  differences-in-differences (DID) and interrupted time series (ITS) models. Provides
  limited interpretations of model results and a ranking of variable importance in
  models. Performs propensity score models, top-coding of model outcome variables,
  and can return new data with the newly formed variables. Conducts Bayesian analysis
  summaries and graphs, decision curve analysis, and produces some Shewhart control
  charts. Also performs Cronbach's alpha for various scale items (e.g., survey questions).
