Welcome to the Age-dependent-Reference-Intervals_Generator (AdRI_Generator) Wiki!
This Shiny App is a generator for creating age-dependent analyt-data. The generated data can be downloaded and used in the Shiny App AdRI (See the Wiki).
Available are the following distributions: Normal-Distribution (NO
), Log-Normal-Distribution (LOGNO
), Box-Cox Cole & Green Distribution (BCCG
), Box-Cox t-Distribution (BCT
) and Box-Cox Power Exponential Distribution (BCPE
). The parameters μ (Mean), σ (Variance), ν (Skewness) and τ (Kurtosis) are changing over the patient age with a linear or an exponential function.
The linear function is: y = m*x + b
and the exponential y = a*e^(x*b)
.
The data can be downloaded as a CSV file. Negative values are deleted automatically. The generator save "Generator" as the stations-name and determines that all values are unique and have no gender. To add pathological cases (only by Normal-Distribution) a factor can be added to μ.
Normally distributed data can be generated with given reference intervals (Data for the reference intervals must be from normally distributed analytes!). Use the Percentile_Table_Template.csv as template for this. The formula to calculate µ and σ is: µ = (LL + UL)/2
and σ = (UL - LL)/3.92
(Lower and upper reference limits LL and UL).
