dx_lrt_pos | R Documentation |
Calculates the Positive Likelihood Ratio (LR+) from a confusion matrix object. LR+ compares the probability of a positive test result among patients with the disease to the probability of a positive test result among patients without the disease.
dx_lrt_pos(cm, detail = "full", ...)
cm |
A dx_cm object created by |

Character specifying the level of detail in the output: "simple" for raw estimate, "full" for detailed estimate including 95% confidence intervals. |

The positive likelihood ratio is calculated as (TP / (TP + FN)) / (FP / (FP + TN)). It is used to assess the diagnostic usefulness of a test. A LR+ much greater than 1 indicates a good diagnostic test that can confidently confirm the disease when the test is positive.
Depending on the detail
parameter, returns a numeric value
representing the calculated metric or a data frame/tibble with
detailed diagnostics including confidence intervals and possibly other
metrics relevant to understanding the metric.
