This function allows to read the testing data.

Usage

read.manually.introduced(dat, modality1, testdirection1, modality2,
testdirection2, status1, related = TRUE, status2 = NULL)

Arguments

dat

Dataframe of data to anlyse

modality1

Name of the column of dataframe that represents the first modality

testdirection1

Indicates the direction of the test for modality 1. If TRUE means that larger test results represent more positive test

modality2

Name of the column of dataframe that represents the second modality

This functions returns a list with the following data:

sim1.ind

Vector with the data for Curve 1

sim2.ind

Vector with the data for Curve 2

sim1.sta

Vector with the status for Curve 1

sim2.sta

Vector with the status for Curve 2

Examples

data(zhang)
moda1 = "modality1" 
moda2 = "modality2"
data = read.manually.introduced(zhang, moda1, TRUE, moda2, TRUE, "status", TRUE)
