DTComPair version 1.2.4 (2024-04-10)

  • tab.paired and tab.1test now allow for data where all subjects are either diseased or nondiseased
  • Added package website and hex sticker

DTComPair version 1.2.2 (2023-08-20)

CRAN release: 2023-08-20

  • Functions that compare sensitivity/ specificity and predictive values now return lists of vectors (instead of lists of lists).
  • Test 1 is consistently used as the reference test.
  • In pv.gsand pv.wgs, it is now diff.ppv <- ppv.2-ppv.1 (instead of diff.ppv <- abs(ppv.1-ppv.2)), and accordingly for negative predictive values.
  • Added a new function (pv.prev) to allow computation of positive and negative predictive values for different theoretical prevalences.
  • Added a new function (sesp.gen.mcnemar) implementing a generalized McNemar’s test for a joint comparison of sensitivity and specificity.
  • Redundant table in man/dtcompair-package.rd deleted.

DTComPair version 1.2.0 (2023-04-20)

CRAN release: 2023-04-21

  • pv.rpv() now returns the full variance-covariance matrix (Sigma).
  • ellipse.pv.rpv() generates the data to plot a joint confidence region for rPPV and rNPV (depends on the ellipse package) (as in Moskowitz and Pepe, 2006).
  • sesp.rel() calculates relative sensitivity and relative specificity (with Wald CIs and p-value).
  • tpffpf.rel() calculates relative sensitivity (rTPF) and relative ‘one minus specificity’ (rFPF) (with Wald CIs and p-value), but it does not calculate their individual components (ie, TPFs and FPFs); this function is meant to be used with paired screen-positive designs, where only rTPF and rFPF are estimable form the data (see Cheng and Macaluso, 1997 or Alonzo, Pepe, Moskowitz, 2002).
  • The new features were contributed by A. Discacciati - many thanks!
