expected_events: calculate the number of expected events from a study included...

In PubBias: Performs simulation study to look for publication bias, using a technique described by Ioannidis and Trikalinos; Clin Trials. 2007;4(3):245-53.

Description

calculate the number of expected events from a study included in a meta-analysis assuming summary effect estimate (OR_hat) is true (not for end user).

Usage

  expected_events(vec_r_events_control,
    vec_n_sample_size_control, vec_n_sample_size_treated,
    OR_hat, n, alpha)

Arguments

vec_r_events_control	an ordered vector of number of events in the untreated group of constituent studies from a meta-analysis.
vec_n_sample_size_control	an ordered vector of the number of participants in the untreated group.
vec_n_sample_size_treated	an ordered vector of the number of participants in the treated group.
alpha	Type-1 error rate.
n	Number of iterations used to generate constituent study power; suggest use 10,000.
OR_hat	Summary odds ratio from meta-analysis

Value

Expected number of events at given alpha level.
