title: 'hpsreg: Regression for Hierarchically Ordered Clinical Outcomes via Pairwise
  Comparisons (Bradley-Terry-Davidson Model)'
version: 1.0.0
abstract: Provides regression for hierarchically ordered clinical outcomes via pairwise
  comparisons, using a covariate-adjusted Davidson (Bradley-Terry with ties) model
  with U-statistic sandwich standard errors. A hierarchy of outcomes (binary, ordinal,
  continuous, and time-to-event, with eligibility guards and tie margins) is defined;
  all pairs of subjects are scored lexicographically; and the resulting win / loss
  / tie data are analysed. Unadjusted win statistics (net benefit, win ratio, win
  odds), diagnostics, and a worked example based on outcomes after allogeneic stem
  cell transplant are also provided. The computational engine is written in 'C++'
  using 'Rcpp' and 'RcppEigen'.
