Hi all,
I am having issues with finding a right test for comparing accuracy trends over time. Is Cochran-Armitage Trend test is a right choice? I have a 2x2 table comparing test results with gold standard at different time points. I plotted the accuracy trends over time on a graph, but I need to know if there is a significant trend. My data is not on a excel sheet or on SAS. I had to manually calculate accuracy for each time point and then enter them on a excel sheet to generate graphs. In the 2x2 table, If I have empty cells, I added 0.5 to each cell and then calculated accuracy. Any advise is appreciated for calculating and comparing accuracy significance across time. I am attaching the trend grap on here.
My questions are:
1. How to enter data in SAS from a manual 2x2 table, especially when I have 2x2 table data at 4 different time points and I have to do accuracy calculations for 6 different conditions?
2. How to calcualte accuracy using SAS (and how to adjust missing cells)?
3. How to compare accuracy trends (significance, p-value) across 4 different time points?
4. My sample size is low as it is a piolt study involving 18 students.
Thank you for the help,
Sat
