Win statistics calculation using formula syntax

Description

Win statistics calculation using formula syntax

Usage

## S3 method for class 'formula'
calcWINS(x, data, ...)

Arguments

x	an object of class formula.
data	a data frame.
...	additional parameters.

Value

a list containing win statistics and their confidence intervals. It contains the following named data frames:

• summary a data frame containing number of wins, losses, and ties of the active treatment group and the overall number of comparisons.

• WP a data frame containing the win probability and its confidence interval.

• NetBenefit a data frame containing the net benefit and its confidence interval. This is just a ⁠2x-1⁠ transformation of WP and its CI.

• WO a data frame containing the win odds and its confidence interval.

• WR1 a data frame containing the win ratio and its confidence interval, using the transformed standard error of the gamma statistic.

• WR2 a data frame containing the win ratio and its confidence interval, using the standard error calculated using Pties.

• gamma a data frame containing Goodman Kruskal's gamma and its confidence interval.

• SE a data frame containing standard errors used to calculated the Confidence intervals for win statistics.
