In precmed: Precision Medicine

Compute the area under the curve using linear or natural spline interpolation

Description

This function computes the area under the curve for two vectors where one corresponds to the x values and the other corresponds to the y values. It supports both linear and spline interpolation.

Usage

auc(
  x,
  y,
  from = min(x, na.rm = TRUE),
  to = max(x, na.rm = TRUE),
  type = c("linear", "spline"),
  subdivisions = 100,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector of x values.
y	A numeric vector of y values of the same length as x.
from	The value from where to start calculating the area under the curve. Defaults to the smallest x value.
to	The value from where to end the calculation of the area under the curve. Defaults to the greatest x value.
type	The type of interpolation: "linear" or "spline". Defaults to "linear".
subdivisions	An integer indicating how many subdivisions to use for 'integrate' (for spline-based approximations).
...	Additional arguments passed on to 'approx' (for linear interpolations).

Value

A numeric value representing the area under the curve.
