Generated Asynchronous Longitudinal Data with Time-Invariant Coefficients

Description

For the purposes of the package examples, the data set was adapted from the numerical simulations of the original manuscript. Specifically, data was generated for 400 subjects. The number of observation times for the response was Poisson distributed with intensity rate 5, and similarly for the number of observation times for the covariates. Observation times are generated from a uniform distribution Unif(0,1) independently. The covariate process is Gaussian, with values at fixed time points being multivariate normal with mean 0, variance 1 and correlation \exp(-|t_{ij} - t_{ik}|). The responses were generated from Y(t) = \beta_0 + X(t)*\beta_1 + \epsilon(t), where \beta_0 = 0.5, \beta_1 = 1.5, and \epsilon(t) is Gaussian with mean 0, variance 1 and \mathrm{cov}(\epsilon(s),\epsilon(t)) = 2^{-|t-s|}. Covariates are stored as TI.x. Responses are stored as TI.y.
