estimated.sTSHI: Jostels TSH index in standardised form

In SPINA: Structure Parameter Inference Approach

Description

Calculate Jostels TSH index in standardised form resulting from z-transformation.

Usage

estimated.sTSHI(TSH, FT4, mean = 2.7, sd = 0.676)

Arguments

TSH	Thyrotropin (TSH) concentration in mIU/l
FT4	Free thyroxine (FT4) concentration in pmol/L
mean	mean value of population sample for standardised (z-transformed) tests
sd	standard deviation of population sample for standardised (ztransformed) tests

Details

This function is able to do vectorised calculations.

Value

his function returns Jostel's TSH index as a numeric result in standardised form representing a single value or a vector, depending on the vector length of the arguments. Results are z-transformed and therefore without unit of measurement.

Note

The software functions described in this document are intended for research use only. Hormone levels should have been obtained simultaneously in order to avoid bias by transition effects.
