sep.binom: Binomial Population sensitivity

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

View source: R/freedom_functions_1.R

Description

Calculates population sensitivity for detecting disease, assuming imperfect test sensitivity and specificity and representative sampling, using binomial distribution (assumes large or unknown population size and that cut-point number of reactors for a positive result = 1)

Usage

1
sep.binom(n, pstar, se = 1, sp = 1, dig = 5)

Arguments

n

sample size = number of units tested (integer), scalar or vector

pstar

design prevalence as a proportion (scalar or vector of same length as n)

se

unit sensitivity of test (proportion), default = 1 (scalar or vector of same length as n)

sp

unit specificity of test (proportion), default = 1 (scalar or vector of same length as n)

dig

number of digits for rounding of results

Value

vector of population-level sensitivities
