Show abstract
The lifetime radiation associated risk of cancer incidence has been of interest at least seventy years after atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Since most of radiation epidemiological studies are retrospective, it is important to assess the potential magnitude of radiation-related cancer risk. The R-package so-call LARisk implements to easily calculate lifetime attributable risks (LAR) of radiation associated cancer incidence presenting bootstrap-based confidence intervals of the estimated risks. The main characteristics of the LARisk package are to flexibly compute the LAR-associated risks, effectively summarize large data, and promptly update domain-knowledge such as new regression coefficients for excess relative risk or excess absolute risk models, population information, etc. The manuscript provides a complete guide for usage of the LARisk package, which will enable to contribute the prospective studies in radiation epidemiology.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
