Package: inctools 1.0.15

inctools: Incidence Estimation Tools

Tools for estimating incidence from biomarker data in cross- sectional surveys, and for calibrating tests for recent infection. Implements and extends the method of Kassanjee et al. (2012) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0b013e3182576c07>.

Datasets:
  • excalibdata - The dataset 'excalibdata.Rdata' contains example data from an evaluation of an assay measuring recency of infection. At an assay result of <10, the specimen is considered to be recently infected. It further contains viral load data, which is commonly used to reduce false recency. For example, when recency is defined as assay result <10 and viral load > 1000, the FRR is substantially lower (but the MDRI is also reduced).

Introduction | Historical context | Overview of Functionality and Use | Analysis in support of survey design | Analysis of survey data | Estimation of key performance characteristics of Tests for Recent Infection | Glossary | HIV infected individual | Mean duration of recent infection (MDRI) | False-recent rate (FRR) | Incidence as a (or, an “instantaneous”) rate | Annual(ised) risk of infection | Recency time cut-off T (“Big T”) | Relative standard error (RSE) | Null hypothesis | p-value | Significance | Sample size | Design effect | Citation | Acknowledgements | Appendix: Technical details | Case 1: Surveys share a single estimate for MDRI and a single estimate for FRR | Case 2: Surveys share a single estimate for MDRI, but have independent FRR estimates | Case 3: Both MDRI and FRR are independently estimated in each survey | Note: | Crucial note on choice of null hypothesis, calculation of p-values and meaning of “statistical power”
