In idiolect: Forensic Authorship Analysis

Calibrate scores into Log-Likelihood Ratios

Description

This function is used to transform the scores returned by any of the authorship analysis functions into a Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR).

Usage

calibrate_LLR(calibration.dataset, dataset, latex = FALSE)

Arguments

calibration.dataset	A data frame containing the calibration dataset, typically the output of an authorship analysis function like impostors().
dataset	A data frame containing the scores that have to be calibrated into LLRs using the calibration dataset. This is typically the result of applying a function like impostors() to the Q texts.
latex	A logical value. If FALSE (default), then the hypothesis labels are printed as plain text (Hp/Hd). If TRUE the labels are written to be read in LaTeX ($H_p$/$H_d$).

Value

The function returns a data frame with the LLRs (base 10), as well as the verbal label according to Marquis et al (2016) and a verbal interpretation of the results.

Examples

calib <- data.frame(score = c(0.5, 0.2, 0.8, 0.01, 0.6), target = c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE))
q <- data.frame(score = c(0.6, 0.002))
calibrate_LLR(calib, q)
