(Package: qvcalc) :
Accuracy of a Quasi-variance Approximation
Computes the worst relative error, among all contrasts, for the standard error as derived from a set of quasi variances. For details of the method see Menezes (1999) or Firth and Menezes (2004).

(Package: qvcalc) :
Quasi Variances for Model Coefficients
Computes a set of quasi variances (and corresponding quasi standard errors) for estimated model coefficients relating to the levels of a categorical (i.e., factor) explanatory variable. For details of the method see Firth (2000), Firth (2003) or Firth and de Menezes (2004). Quasi variances generalize and improve the accuracy of “floating absolute risk” (Easton et al., 1991).
