--- title: "Adding additional levels of bias and indirectness" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Adding additional levels of bias and indirectness} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r, include = FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set( collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>" ) ``` ```{r setup, include = F} library(triangulate) library(dplyr) ``` Say we wish to include 'Very high' or 'Critical' risk of bias as an option in our assessments. In this example, Domain 1 of Study 1 has a "Critical" risk of bias assessment ```{r} dat_bias_with_critical <- triangulate::dat_bias dat_bias_with_critical[1,6] <- 'Critical' dat_bias_with_critical[1,1:6] ``` This requires us to add in another prior ('critical') to the library contained in `dat_bias_values`: ``` {r} custom_bias_priors <- triangulate::dat_bias_values %>% add_row(domain = 'all', j = 'critical', bias_m_add = 0.2, bias_v_add = 0.12, bias_m_prop = 0.08, bias_v_prop = 0.04) custom_bias_priors ``` It is then just a case of passing our custom prior dataset to the prep functions: ```{r} dat_bias_with_critical_prepped <- dat_bias_with_critical %>% tri_to_long() %>% tri_absolute_direction() %>% tri_append_bias(custom_bias_priors) dat_bias_with_critical_prepped[1:7,c(2,6:13)] ``` We can see now that the first domain (D1) of Study 1 has been defined as Critical, and the adjustment values we added to our `custom_bias_priors` dataset have been correctly assigned to it. The same approach is possible if you wish to change/supplement the levels used in the indirectness adjustment.
