Description

Compare a patient's score to a control group.

Usage

assess(patient, mean = 0, sd = 1, n = NULL, controls = NULL,
  CI = 95, treshold = 0.05, iter = 10000,
  color_controls = "#2196F3", color_CI = "#E91E63",
  color_score = "black", color_size = 2, alpha_controls = 1,
  alpha_CI = 0.8, verbose = TRUE)

Details

Until relatively recently the standard way of testing for a difference between a case and controls was to convert the case<U+2019>s score to a z score using the control sample mean and standard deviation (SD). If z was less than -1.645 (i.e., below 95

Examples

# NOT RUN {
result <- assess(patient = 124, mean = 100, sd = 15, n = 100)
print(result)
plot(result)
