sens: Sensitivity, Specificity and False Positive Rate

In mada: Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy

Sensitivity, Specificity and False Positive Rate

Description

Calculate basic measures of diagnostic accuracy for a number of studies.

Usage

sens(x)
spec(x)
fpr(x)

Arguments

x	a data frame with variables including TP, FN, FP, TN, alternatively a matrix with column names including these.

Details

These functions are the basic building blocks of many procedures to assess diagnostic accuracy. For a decent summary of set of primary studies it is better to use madad, for graphical summaries crosshair and ROCellipse are available.

Value

A numeric vector.
