acc.1test | R Documentation |
Sensitivity and specificity, (positive and negative) predictive values and (positive and negative) diagnostic likelihood ratios of a single binary diagnostic test.
acc.1test(tab, alpha, testname, ...)
tab |
An object of class |
alpha |
Significance level alpha for 100(1-alpha)%-confidence intervals, the default is 0.05. |
testname |
A character variable containing the name of the diagnostic test. |

Additional arguments (usually not required). |
The calculation of accuracy measures and their variances follows standard methodology, e.g. described in Pepe (2003) or Zhou et al. (2011). Confidence intervals for diagnostic likelihood ratios are computed according to Simel et al. (1991).
