Implement InSilicoVA methods with more flexible customization
Description
This function implements InSilicoVA model. This is the lower level core function of InSilicoVA with more flexibility in customized input. For more detail of model specification, see the paper on http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.3042 and the default function insilico.
The customized conditional probabilities of symptoms given causes, which could be in a different format than InterVA default, but it should consist of nlevel.dev levels rather than numerical values.
table.dev
The table of level names in probbase.dev. Default to be NULL
table.num.dev
The corresponding prior numerical values for each level in probbase.dev, in the same order as table.dev. Default to be NULL
gstable.dev
Table of gold standard causes for each death. Default to be NULL
nlevel.dev
number of levels in probbase.dev. Default to be NULL
indiv.CI
credible interval for individual probabilities
...
unused arguments
Value
a insilico fit object, see see insilico for more detail.
