posc - Probability of Outcome Superiority Curves
Computes, plots and compares probability of outcome
superiority curves (POSCs). For two people who differ by a
given amount on a continuous predictor, a POSC gives the
probability that the person with the higher predictor score
also has the higher outcome, a probabilistic and
decision-oriented alternative to reporting a correlation
coefficient. Curves can be computed from a correlation under
bivariate normality, from a correlation matrix for an optimally
weighted composite of predictors, from a fitted linear model,
or estimated directly from raw data with a flexible spline
model and bootstrap confidence bands.
