SimulateFrocDataset: Simulates an MRMC uncorrelated FROC dataset using the RSM

In RJafroc: Artificial Intelligence Systems and Observer Performance

Simulates an MRMC uncorrelated FROC dataset using the RSM

Description

Simulates an uncorrelated MRMC FROC dataset for specified numbers of readers and treatments

Usage

SimulateFrocDataset(mu, lambda, nu, zeta1, I, J, K1, K2, perCase, seed = NULL)

Arguments

mu	The mu parameter of the RSM
lambda	The RSM lambda parameter
nu	The RSM nu parameter
zeta1	The lowest reporting threshold
I	The number of treatments
J	The number of readers
K1	The number of non-diseased cases
K2	The number of diseased cases
perCase	A K2 length array containing the numbers of lesions per diseased case
seed	The initial seed for the random number generator, the default is NULL, as if no seed has been specified.

Details

See book chapters on the Radiological Search Model (RSM) for details. In this code correlations between ratings on the same case are assumed to be zero.

Value

The return value is an FROC dataset.

Examples

set.seed(1) 
K1 <- 5;K2 <- 7;
maxLL <- 2;perCase <- floor(runif(K2, 1, maxLL + 1))
mu <- 1;lambda <- 1;nu <- 0.99 ;zeta1 <- -1
I <- 2; J <- 5

frocDataRaw <- SimulateFrocDataset(
  mu = mu, lambda = lambda, nu = nu, zeta1 = zeta1,
  I = I, J = J, K1 = K1, K2 = K2, perCase = perCase )
  
## plot the data
ret <- PlotEmpiricalOperatingCharacteristics(frocDataRaw, opChType = "FROC")
## print(ret$Plot)
