Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Description

This function is used to estimate theta assuming the gold standard biomarker is used. Further the distribution of the biomarker is assumed to be normaly distributed with a given mean and variance.

Usage

1
thetama(mydat)

Arguments

mydat

A data frame with the outcome variable and exposure variables

Details

This metric measure the decrease in the expected proportion of events that were avoided as a result of using the biomarker guided treatment. However the biomarker observed is the modified asssay rather than the gold standard assay. To reduce the computational time, a raoblackwelization method conditioning over the sufficient statistics was used.

Value

A value in the range of 0-1.
