ci_for_ror

Mainly for use in <code>ror</code>. Produces (symmetric,
normality based) confidence bounds for the ROR, for a passed probability.
Called twice in <code>ror</code> to create confidence intervals.

Tools for performing disproportionality analysis using the information component, proportional reporting rate and the reporting odds ratio. The anticipated use is passing data to the da() function, which executes the disproportionality analysis. See Norén et al (2011) <doi:10.1177/0962280211403604> and Montastruc et al (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1365-2125.2011.04037.x> for further details.

ci_for_ror function

<dl><dt>a</dt>
<dd>Number of reports for the specific drug and event (i.e. the
observed count).</dd>
<dt>b</dt>
<dd>Number of reports with the drug, without the event</dd>
<dt>c</dt>
<dd>Number of reports without the drug, with the event</dd>
<dt>d</dt>
<dd>Number of reports without the drug, without the event</dd>
<dt>conf_lvl_probs</dt>
<dd>The probabilities of the normal distribution, based on
a passed confidence level (<code>conf_lvl</code>) in <code>ror</code>. If
<code>sgn_lvl = .95</code> in <code>ror</code>, quantiles of the normal distribution will
be extracted at <code>sgn_lvl_probs</code> of 0.025 and 0.975.</dd></dl>
