posttest_pos_aggregate: posttest_pos_aggregate

In n8thangreen/LTBIhospitalScreenACE: ACE LTBI screening cost-effectiveness analysis

Description

##TODO: check maths

Usage

posttest_pos_aggregate(n_pos, n_neg, sens, spec, prev)

Arguments

n_pos	Number of positives
n_neg	Number of negatives
sens	Sensitivity
spec	Specificity
prev	Prevalence

Details

See Modeling in Medical Decision Making: A Bayesian Approach Giovanni Parmigiani book example

Currently, only computes with pmf for prevalence of two probabilities i.e. p(x=1)=prevalence so then the likelihood reeduces to sensitivity and specificity if using a distn for prevalence eg beta/uniform then will need to integrate denominator.

Examples

posttest_pos_aggregate(n_pos = 10, n_neg = 10, sens = 0.9, spec = 0.9, prev = 0.1)
