credibleIntervals

Credible intervals estimation

Description

Credible intervals estimation

Usage

credibleIntervals(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'trtSelOptThresh'
credibleIntervals(object, alpha = 0.05,
  hpd = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'diagOptThresh'
credibleIntervals(object, alpha = 0.05,
  hpd = FALSE)

Arguments

`object`	a `trtSelOptThresh` or a `diagOptThresh` S4 class object from which the credible intervals of several indicators (including the optimal threshold) must be calculated.
`...`	other arguments passed to the method.
`alpha`	alpha parameter for the confidence level required.
`hpd`	logical value to specify whether the function has to return Highest Posterior Density interval or not.

Details

This function calculates the credible intervals of several indicators depending on the type of marker under study (treatment selection or diagnostic marker). The user may specify the alpha risk for the confidence level (default is 5

Value

Returns a matrix with the credible intervals of several indicators.

Returns the credible intervals of several indicators.
