compare_diff: Compare Differences

In sarahvanhala/nomscheck: Report to Check NOMS Data

Description

The purpose of this plot is to look for dramatic differences (which may indicate outliers) in the values of client-specific H-data values between the current and previous assessments.

Usage

compare_diff(diffdata, var, zero_prob, mean, binwidth)

Arguments

diffdata	dataframe created by calc_diffs
var	H-data variable of interest
zero_prob	(optional) The probability of the difference in the variable of interest being zero
mean	(optional) The mean of the absolute value of the non-zero part of the variable of interest. Note that for the waist circumference:weight ratio, the mean of the absolute value of the non-zero part is multiplied by 1,000
binwidth	(optional) The binwidth of the plot

Details

Simulates a comparison distribution and compares client-specific differences in H-data values between current and most previous assessment to the simulated distribution.

If optional variables are not specified, the function will use a reference value.

Value

Histogram of simulated differences with lines indicating actual differences in H-data.

Examples

compare_diff(diffdata, var, zero_prob, mean, binwidth)
