beta.parameter
(Package: HSROC) :
A function that returns the shape parameters of the beta distribution
When provided the minimum and maximum values corresponding to the prior information on a parameter (within [0, 1]), the function returns the shape parameters of the beta distribution, namely alpha and beta, that covers this range.
HSROC
(Package: HSROC) :
A function for joint meta-analysis of sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test.
This function is used to estimate the parameters of a hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) model allowing for the reference standard to be possibly imperfect, and assuming it is conditionally independent from the test under evaluation. The estimation is carried out using a Gibbs sampler.
