ps: Calculate the Probablility of Superiority

In eq5d: Methods for Analysing 'EQ-5D' Data and Calculating 'EQ-5D' Index Scores

Calculate the Probablility of Superiority

Description

Calculate the Probablility of Superiority (PS) for the dimensions of two EQ-5D datasets. Score is less than 0.5 if more patients deteriorate than improve, 0.5 if the same number of patients improve and deteriorate or do not change and greater than 0.5 if more patients improve than deteriorate.

Usage

ps(
  pre,
  post,
  version = NULL,
  ignore.invalid = TRUE,
  dimensions = .getDimensionNames(),
  digits = 2
)

Arguments

pre	data.frame, numeric or character. For data.frame default column names should be MO, SC, UA, PD and AD representing Mobility, Self-care, Usual activities, Pain/discomfort and Anxiety/depression. Vector using five digit format can also be used.
post	data.frame, numeric or character. For data.frame default column names should be MO, SC, UA, PD and AD representing Mobility, Self-care, Usual activities, Pain/discomfort and Anxiety/depression. Vector using five digit format can also be used.
version	string of value "3L" or "5L" to indicate instrument version.
ignore.invalid	boolean whether to ignore invalid scores. TRUE returns NA, FALSE throws an error.
dimensions	character vector, specifying "dimension" column names. Defaults are "MO", "SC", "UA", "PD" and "AD".
digits	numeric specifying the number of decimal places. Defaults to 2.

Value

a list of Probability of Superiority scores by dimension.

Examples

dat <- read.csv(system.file("extdata", "eq5d3l_example.csv", package="eq5d"))

pre <- dat[dat$Group=="Group1",][1:50,]
post <- dat[dat$Group=="Group2",][1:50,]

ps(pre, post, version="3L")
