Value

Returns a list of class tab.paired containing:

diseased

A contingency table (matrix) of test results among diseased subjects.

Test 2 pos.	d.a	d.b	d.a+d.b
Test 2 neg.	d.c	d.d	d.c+d.d
Total	d.a+d.c	d.b+d.d	d.a+d.b+d.c+d.d

non.diseased

A contingency table (matrix) of test results among non-diseased subjects.

	Test1 pos.	Test1 neg.	Total
Test 2 pos.	nd.a	nd.b	nd.a+nd.b
