  TP,
  TN,
  FP,
  FN,
  pretestProb = NULL,
  SN = NULL,

)

posttestProbability(
  TP,
  TN,
  FP,

)

Arguments

TP

Number of true positive cases.

TN

Number of true negative cases.

FP

Number of false positive cases.

FN

Number of false negative cases.

pretestProb

Pretest probability (prevalence/base rate/prior probability) of characteristic, as a number between 0 and 1.

SN

Sensitivity of the test at a given cut point, as a number between 0 and 1.

SP

Specificity of the test at a given cut point, as a number between 0 and 1.

likelihoodRatio

Likelihood ratio of the test at a given cut point.

Value

The requested posttest odds or pottest probability.
