title: 'WSPsignal: Weibull Shape Parameter Tests for Signal Detection'
version: 1.0.0
abstract: Implementation of Bayesian and frequentist Weibull Shape Parameter (WSP)
  tests for signal detection in pharmacovigilance based on right-censored time-to-event
  data to flag associations between drugs and adverse events. The WSP test is based
  on the assumption of constant hazard reflected by a Weibull type distribution with
  shape parameters equal to one. Based on the shape parameter estimates (posterior
  distribution or point estimate), the WSP test method performs a hypothesis test
  on each shape parameter and combines them to a decision on the presence of a signal.
