- The functions
acc.1test()
andacc.paired()
now allow the user (via the argumentmethod.ci
)to choose from a range of differnt types of confidence intervals.
- The functions
tab.paired()
andtab.1test()
now allow for data where all subjects are either diseased or nondiseased. - A link to a package website and a hex sticker have been added.
- Functions that compare sensitivity/ specificity and predictive values now return lists of vectors (instead of lists of lists).
Test 1
is consistently used as the reference test.- In
pv.gs()
andpv.wgs()
, it is nowdiff.ppv <- ppv.2-ppv.1
(instead ofdiff.ppv <- abs(ppv.1-ppv.2)
), and accordingly for negative predictive values. - Added a new function (
pv.prev()
) to allow computation of positive and negative predictive values for different theoretical prevalences. - Added a new function (
sesp.gen.mcnemar()
) implementing a generalized McNemar's test for a joint comparison of sensitivity and specificity. - A redundant table in
man/dtcompair-package.rd
was deleted.
pv.rpv()
now returns the full variance-covariance matrix (Sigma
).ellipse.pv.rpv()
generates the data to plot a joint confidence region for rPPV and rNPV (depends on theellipse
package) (as in Moskowitz and Pepe, 2006).sesp.rel()
calculates relative sensitivity and relative specificity (with Wald CIs and p-value).tpffpf.rel()
calculates relative sensitivity (rTPF) and relative 'one minus specificity' (rFPF) (with Wald CIs and p-value), but it does not calculate their individual components (ie, TPFs and FPFs); this function is meant to be used with paired screen-positive designs, where only rTPF and rFPF are estimable form the data (see Cheng and Macaluso, 1997 or Alonzo, Pepe, Moskowitz, 2002).- The new features were contributed by A. Discacciati - many thanks!
- Restored compatibility with CRAN requirements.
- Corrected an error in
sesp.diff.ci
(detected by F. Gimenez - many thanks!). - Minor documentation update.
- Corrected an error in function
sesp.exactbinom
(detected by J. Swiecicki - many thanks!). - Minor documentation update.
