gtcorr.matrix: Calculate the efficiency of matrix group testing procedures...

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Description

‘gtcorr.matrix’ calculates the efficiencies of matrix group testing procedures for rectangular, diagonal, and random arrangements, allowing for correlation between units and test error.

Usage

1
gtcorr.matrix(r, c, m = 1, p, sigma = 0, se = 1, sp = 1, r.prime, c.prime, arrangement = c("rectangular", "diagonal", "random"), model = c("beta-binomial", "Madsen", "Morel-Neerchal"), ...)

Arguments

r

number of rows in the pooling matrix.

c

number of columns in the pooling matrix.

m

cluster size.

p

probability of a unit testing positive.

sigma

pairwise correlation of two units in a cluster.

se

sensitivity. The probability that a pool of units tests positive given than at least one unit in that pool is positive

sp

specificity. The probability that a pool of units tests negative given that at least one unit in that pool is negative

r.prime

for a ‘rectangular’ arrangement, the number of rows in a rectangular cluster.

c.prime

for a ‘rectangular’ arrangement, the number of columns in a rectangular cluster.

arrangement

how clusters are arranged. Should be ‘rectangular’, ‘diagonal’ or ‘random’.

model

probability model for clusters. Should be ‘beta-binomial’, ‘Madsen’, or ‘Morel-Neerchal’.

...
runs

for a random arrangement, number of Monte Carlo simulations to perform to calculate the probability of a pool having no positive units. Default is 1000.

Details

One of m, p, sigma, se, or sp can have more than one value. For a diagonal arrangement, r, c, and m should be equal. For a rectangular arrangement, m should be r.prime*c.prime. See Lendle et. al. 2011 for more information.

Value

r
c
m

cluster size.

r.prime

number of rows in the pooling matrix.

c.prime

number of columns in the pooling matrix.

param.grid

a data frame containing the values of p, sigma, se, and sp for each value of efficiency.

arrangement

arrangement.

model

model.

efficiency

a vector of efficiencies, one for each row of param.grid.
