PVB correction by inverse probability bootstrap sampling (IPB)

Description

Perform PVB correction by inverse probability bootstrap sampling.

Usage

acc_ipb(
  data,
  test,
  disease,
  covariate = NULL,
  option = 1,
  interaction = FALSE,
  ci = FALSE,
  ci_level = 0.95,
  ci_perc = FALSE,
  b = 1000,
  seednum = NULL,
  return_data = FALSE,
  return_detail = FALSE,
  description = TRUE
)

Arguments

data	A data frame, with at least "Test" and "Disease" variables.
test	The "Test" variable name, i.e. the test result. The variable must be in binary; positive = 1, negative = 0 format.
disease	The "Disease" variable name, i.e. the true disease status. The variable must be in binary; positive = 1, negative = 0 format.
covariate	The name(s) of covariate(s), i.e. other variables associated with either test or disease status. Specify as name vector, e.g. c("X1", "X2") for two or more variables. The variables must be in formats acceptable to GLM.
option	1 = IPW weight, 2 = W_h weight, described in Arifin (2023), modified weight of Krautenbacher (2017). The default is option = 1. For small weights, option = 2 is more stable (Arifin, 2023).
interaction	Allow interaction terms between covariates in propensity score calculation. The default is FALSE.
ci	View confidence interval (CI). The default is FALSE.
ci_level	Set the CI width. The default is 0.95 i.e. 95% CI.
b	The number of bootstrap samples, b.
seednum	Set the seed number for the bootstrapped CI. The default is not set, so it depends on the user to set it outside or inside the function.
return_data	Return data for the bootstrapped samples.
return_detail	Return accuracy measures for each of the bootstrapped samples.
description	Print the name of this analysis. The default is TRUE. This can be turned off for repeated analysis, for example in bootstrapped results.
ci_percentile	Calculate CI by percentile method. The default is normal distribution method (FALSE).

Value

A list object containing:

acc_results

The accuracy results.

Examples

# no covariate
acc_ipb(data = cad_pvb, test = "T", disease = "D", b = 1000, seednum = 12345)

# with three covariates
acc_ipb(data = cad_pvb, test = "T", disease = "D", covariate = c("X1","X2","X3"),
        b = 1000, seednum = 12345)
