Diagnostic accuracy data

Six data frames with diagnostic accuracy data from binary test outcomes. data

data("AuditC")
data("Dementia")
data("IAQ")
data("SAQ")
data("skin_tests")
data("smoking")

Format

Six data frames with frequencies of true positives, false negatives, false positives and true negatives. The data set smoking combines the IAQ and SAQ data sets and these are the only ones with variables in addition to the frequencies.

• TP: numeric. number of true positives
• FN: numeric. number of false negatives
• FP: numeric. number of false positives
• TN: numeric. number of true negatives
• type: factor. self-administered (SAQ) or interviewer-administered questionnaire (IAQ)
• author: factor. Author(s) of review and year
• study_id: numeric. ID variable for study
• result_id: integer. ID variable for (dependent) 2x2-tables from the same study
• population: factor. general (G) or student (S) population

Details

The AuditC data is from Kriston et al. (2008). The Dementia from Mitchell (2009) and the SAQ and IAQ data are subsets from the data in Patrick et al. (1994), while smoking is the complete data. The skin_tests data is part of the data from Sousa-Pinto et al. (2021) and concerns the accuracy of penicillin allergy skin tests.
