In lbraglia/lbdiag: Diagnostic Accuracy Miscellaneous Utilities

Calculate diagnostic accuracy measures for binary measures (test, reference standard)

Description

Calculate diagnostic accuracy measures for binary measures (test, reference standard) and confidence intervals (two sided binomial for all the indexes except PPV and NPV, calculated via bdpv a-la Mercaldo)

Usage

da_old(
  test = NULL,
  refstd = NULL,
  alpha = 0.05,
  digits = 4L,
  positive_first = TRUE,
  ppv_npv_prev = NULL,
  ppv_npv_force_unadj = FALSE
)

Arguments

test	test variable (dichotomic factor or logical)
refstd	reference standard (dichotomic factor or logical)
alpha	type I error for two sided confidence interval
digits	rounding digits
positive_first	logical: display positive test and reference standard in first row column
ppv_npv_prev	prevalence adopted for ppv and npv confidence interval (if NULL it's estimated from sample)
ppv_npv_force_unadj	logical: force unadjusted ppv npv estimates (and confidence interval)

Examples

## CASS Example (Pepe pag 22)
db <- dadb(tn = 327, fn = 208, fp = 115, tp = 815)
with(db, da(test = test, refstd = refstd))

## Alzheimer Example (Mercaldo 2007)
db <- dadb(tn = 288, fn = 178 , fp = 87, tp = 240)
with(db, da(test = test, refstd = refstd, ppv_npv_prev = .03))
