credibleIntervals {optimalThreshold}

Credible intervals estimation

Description

Credible intervals estimation

Usage

credibleIntervals(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'trtSelOptThresh'
credibleIntervals(object, alpha = 0.05,
  hpd = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'diagOptThresh'
credibleIntervals(object, alpha = 0.05,
  hpd = FALSE)

Arguments

object

a trtSelOptThresh or a diagOptThresh S4 class object from which the credible intervals of several indicators (including the optimal threshold) must be calculated.

...

other arguments passed to the method.

alpha

alpha parameter for the confidence level required.

hpd

logical value to specify whether the function has to return Highest Posterior Density interval or not.

Details

This function calculates the credible intervals of several indicators depending on the type of marker under study (treatment selection or diagnostic marker). The user may specify the alpha risk for the confidence level (default is 5

Value

Returns a matrix with the credible intervals of several indicators.

Returns the credible intervals of several indicators.
