Returns results of validation tests for COPD

This function runs validation tests for COPD model outputs. It estimates the baseline prevalence and incidence of COPD, along with sex-specific baseline COPD prevalence. Additionally, it calculates the baseline prevalence of COPD by age groups and smoking pack-years. It also estimates the coefficients for the relationships between age, pack-years, smoking status, and the prevalence of COPD.

Usage

validate_COPD(incident_COPD_k = 1, return_CI = FALSE)

Arguments

incident_COPD_k

a number (default=1) by which the incidence rate of COPD will be multiplied.

return_CI

if TRUE, returns 95 percent confidence intervals for the "Year" coefficient

Value

validation test results
