nnt_kk: Kraemer & Kupfer's NNT calculator

In vancak/NNTcalculator_v2018: NNT Calculator

Description

Calculates the parametric and the non-parametric KK-NNT Takes two numeric vectors, treatment and control, and returns the estimated KK-NNT using the specified method.

Usage

nnt_kk(type, treat, control, decrease, dist = "none", equal.var = TRUE)

Arguments

type	specification of the estimation method; 'mle' (for the Maximum Likelihood estimator) and 'non-param' (for the non-parametric MLE),
treat	vector of response variable of the treament group
control	vector of response variable of the control group
decrease	TRUE or FALSE. Indicates whether the MCID change is decrease in the response variable
dist	distribution type (only for the 'mle' type estimator); "norm" (Normal), "expon" (Exponential). The default value is 'none'
equal.var	TRUE or FALSE; Indicates whether the variances are equal - for normal distribution only. The default value is TRUE.

Value

The estimated Kraemer & Kupfer's NNT and its confidence intervals using the specified estimation method.

Examples

nnt_kk( type     = "non-param",
treat     = rnorm(100, 100, 10),
control   = rnorm(100, 110, 20),
decrease  = TRUE )
