#' A repeated regression function for change-in-estimate analysis
#'
#' For bivariate analyses, binary logistic or linear regression. From "Modeling and variable selection in epidemiologic analysis." - S. Greenland, 1989.
#' @param meas Effect meassure. Input as c() of columnnames, use dput().
#' @param vars variables in model. Input as c() of columnnames, use dput().
#' @param string variables to test. Input as c() of columnnames, use dput().
#' @param data data frame to pull variables from.
#' @param logistic flag to set logistic (TRUE) or linear (FALSE,standard) analysis.
#' @param cut cut value for gating if including or dropping the tested variable. As suggested bu S. Greenland (1989).
#' @keywords estimate-in-estimate
