dorfman.assay.gen: Generates Dorfman testing data.

In gregorkb/semipadd2pop: Combine two data sets to fit semiparametric additive models

Generates Dorfman testing data.

Description

Generates Dorfman testing data.

Usage

dorfman.assay.gen(Y.true, Se, Sp, cj)

Arguments

Y.true	The true disease statuses of the individuals.
Se	A vector of testing sensitivities, where the first element is the testing sensitivity for the master pools and the second entry is the test sensitivity for individual testing.
Sp	A vector of testing specificities, where the first element is the testing specificity for the master pools and the second entry is the test specificity for individual testing.
cj	The size of the master pools (Note: The number of individuals length(Y.true) should be evenly divisible by cj. This is only for decoding purposes; i.e., the regression methods do not require this condition).

Value

A list containing objects Z and Y.

This function simulates Dorfman decoding and stores the testing responses in accordance to the data structure required to fit the group testing regression model presented in Gregory et al. (2018+). For the specifics of this structure see McMahan et al. (2017).

Examples

Y.true <- rbinom(100,1,p=.05)
assay.data <- dorfman.assay.gen(Y.true,Se=c(.95,.92),Sp=c(.97,.98),cj=4)
