Description

Reads in objects of class tab.paired using cell frequencies.

Usage

read.tab.paired(d.a, d.b, d.c, d.d, nd.a, nd.b, nd.c, nd.d, testnames, ...)

Arguments

d.a	The number of diseased subjects with a positive test 1 and a positive test 2.
d.b	The number of diseased subjects with a negative test 1 and a positive test 2.
d.c	The number of diseased subjects with a positive test 1 and a negative test 2.
d.d	The number of diseased subjects with a negative test 1 and a negative test 2.
nd.a	The number of non-diseased subjects with a positive test 1 and a positive test 2.
nd.b	The number of non-diseased subjects with a negative test 1 and a positive test 2.
nd.c	The number of non-diseased subjects with a positive test 1 and a negative test 2.
nd.d	The number of non-diseased subjects with a negative test 1 and a negative test 2.
testnames	An optional vector specifying the names of diagnostic test 1 and diagnostic test 2, e.g. c("Test A","Test B"). If not supplied, the variable names are used as testnames.
...	Additional arguments (usually not required).

Value

Returns a list of class tab.paired containing:

diseased	A contingency table (matrix) of test results among diseased subjects. Test1 pos. Test1 neg. Total Test 2 pos. d.a d.b d.a+d.b Test 2 neg. d.c d.d d.c+d.d Total d.a+d.c d.b+d.d d.a+d.b+d.c+d.d
non.diseased	A contingency table (matrix) of test results among non-diseased subjects. Test1 pos. Test1 neg. Total Test 2 pos. nd.a nd.b nd.a+nd.b Test 2 neg. nd.c nd.d nd.c+nd.d Total nd.a+nd.c nd.b+nd.d nd.a+nd.b+nd.c+nd.d
testnames	The names of the diagnostic tests.
