computeExpectedAbsoluteSystematicError.Rd
For a random study estimate, what is the expected value of the absolute systematic error? Provides a single summary value for a null distribution. The expected systematic error of a null distribution is equal to its mean (mu), and is insensitive to the spread of the null distribution (sigma).
Taking the absolute value of the expected systematic error we can express both mean and spread of the estimated null distribution.
computeExpectedAbsoluteSystematicError(null, alpha = 0.05)
An object of class null
created using the fitNull
function or an
object of class mcmcNull
created using the fitMcmcNull
function.
The expected type I error for computing the credible interval.
The expected absolute systematic error. If the provided null
argument is of type mcmcNull
,
the credible interval (defined by alpha
) is also returned.
compareEase
for comparing the expected absolute systematic error of two sets of estimates for the same negative controls.
