sep.binom.imperfect {RSurveillance}R Documentation

Binomial population sensitivity for imperfect test

Description

Calculates population sensitivity for a large or unknown population and allowing for imperfect test sensitivity and specificity, using Binomial distribution an allowing for a variable cut-point number of positives to classify as positive

Usage

sep.binom.imperfect(n, c = 1, se, sp = 1, pstar)

Arguments

n

sample size (scalar or vector)

c

The cut-point number of positives to classify a cluster as positive, default=1, if positives < c result is negative, >= c is positive (scalar or vector of same length as n)

se

test unit sensitivity (scalar or vector of same length as n)

sp

test unit specificity, default=1 (scalar or vector of same length as n)

pstar

design prevalence as a proportion (scalar or vector of same length as n)

Value

a vector of population-level sensitivities
