Read in “tab.1test”-Objects

Description

Reads in objects of class tab.1test using cell frequencies.

Usage

read.tab.1test(a, b, c, d, testname, ...)

Arguments

a	The number of diseased subjects with a positive test.
b	The number of non-diseased subjects with a positive test.
c	The number of diseased subjects with a negative test.
d	The number of non-diseased subjects with a negative test.
testname	An optional vector specifying the name of the diagnostic test, e.g. c("Test A"). If not supplied, the corresponding variable name is used as testname.
...	Additional arguments (usually not required).

Value

Returns a list of class tab.1test containing:

tab.1test	A contingency table (matrix) of test results. Diseased Non-diseased Total Test pos. a b a+b Test neg. c d c+d Total a+c b+d a+b+c+d
testname	The name of the diagnostic test.
