The Pap test data
Description
These data are comprised of N=59
studies that published between January 1984 and March 1992. The diagnostic accuracy of the Pap test (i.e., index test) is evaluated by comparing with the histology test (i.e., reference test), which is not a perfect test (Fahey, et al., 1995).
Format
A data frame with 59 observations on the following 4 variables.
- y11
the number of the test results where the Pap test outcome is positive and the histology test outcome is positive
- y10
the number of the test results where the Pap test outcome is positive and the histology test outcome is negative
- y01
the number of the test results where the Pap test outcome is negative and the histology test outcome is positive
- y00
the number of the test results where the Pap test outcome is negative and the histology test outcome is negative
