estPerf: estPerf

In alex-kalinka-cruk/perept: Performance estimation using repeated tests.

Description

Estimate performance (false-positive rate, false-negative rate, true-positive rate, true-negative rate) when there are repeated tests for a set of test subjects (e.g. genes).

Usage

estPerf(n, N, delta)

Arguments

n	Vector of integers specifying the number of tests that produced a particular result (either negative or positive) for each subject.
N	Integer value giving the total number of repeated tests per subject.
delta	Vector of real numbers giving the probability that a given subject has the expected result (either negative or positive) - must be the same length as 'n'.

Value

The estimated performance, a real value in the range [0,1].
