\title{Calculate the Youden-Index}
\usage{
youden(tp, fp, tn, fn, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{tp}{(numeric) number of true positives.}
\item{fp}{(numeric) number of false positives.}
\item{tn}{(numeric) number of true negatives.}
\item{fn}{(numeric) number of false negatives.}
\item{...}{for capturing additional arguments passed by method.}
}
\description{
Calculate the Youden-Index (J-Index) from
true positives, false positives, true negatives and false negatives.
The inputs must be vectors of equal length. \cr \cr
sensitivity = tp / (tp + fn) \cr
specificity = tn / (tn + fp) \cr
youden_index = sensitivity + specificity - 1 \cr
}
\examples{
youden(10, 5, 20, 10)
youden(c(10, 8), c(5, 7), c(20, 12), c(10, 18))
