ProbTolError: Probability of tolerable error - AAMI-SP10 standard.

Description

Probability of tolerable error - AAMI-SP10 standard.

Usage

ProbTolError(distribution = "normal", mu, std.dev, delta)

Value

It returns the probability of tolerable error based on a normal distribution.

Arguments

distribution: The errors distirbution. Default and only option is "normal".
mu, std.dev
delta: Maximum average error allowed for the device D.

Details

Computes the probability of tolerable error for a device D for blood pressure measuring under the ANSI/AAMI-SP10 standard for a size-n sample of average errors from a normal distribution with mean mu and stadard deviation sd. The maximum error accepted is 0.85, A tolerable error, according to the ANSI/AAMI-SP10, is a an error of 10mmHg or less on a single person, using the average of that person's readings.

Currently, only normally distirbuted errors are handled. Further choices will be implemented over time.
